The implant (1) comprises two side walls (2) resting against the vertebral end-plates and an intermediate wall (3) joining said supporting walls. The implant (1) can be deformed for insertion between the vertebrae (10) to be treated and in order to restore the attenuated mobility of said vertebrae (10), and comprises means (4) for the mounting thereof on said vertebrae(10). According to the invention, said side walls (2), when seen from the side, have a curved shape, whereby the convexity thereof is oriented towards the outside of the implant (1); said intermediate wall (3) has a curved shape, whereby the convexity thereof is oriented towards the outside of the implant (1) and is such that it does not form any pronounced angles with the supporting side walls (2). The supporting side walls (2) and the intermediate wall (3), when seen from the side, have a partially oval shape like a water droplet; and the means (4) for fixing the implant (1) to the vertebrae (10) are configured in such a way that said implant (1) can be mounted on the vertebrae (10), i.e. the implant (1) can be slightly deformed in relation to the vertebrae (10) during the movement of said vertebrae. |
