Abstract
An implant device designed for replacing a vertebral body of the spine. The implant device contains at least one moving member so as to vary the distance between a first and second member. Most preferably this movement is achieved by rotating at least one cam about an axis. The cam or cams are shaped so as to comprise an irregular polygon thus allowing the height of the implant device to be varied at discrete positions. A slidable telescopic engagement device within the implant device affords the added advantage of simple adjustment and maneuverability.
