An interspinous implant includes an implant body having an upper face, a lower face, and four sides. The implant body includes a first recess and a second recess in opposite sides, wherein each recess is suitable for receiving a spinous process of a vertebrae. Attachment means are provided and suitable for attaching a band to the implant body. The implant further includes a lock hinged to a side of the implant body on a side not having the recesses, with the lock rotatable about the hinge between a closed position and an open position in which the lock projects away from the side of the implant body. The lock has an aperture, and a band can pass through the aperture when the lock is open and can be secured against movement relative to the lock and the implant body by the lock when the lock is closed.
