Abstract:
1. Intervertebral implant for mutual situating of adjacent vertebrae, said intervertebral implant comprising: a cover; a driving mechanism fixed in the cover, said cover being provided with a cover wall that presents a manipulative hole, said cover being further provided with an open seat, said driving mechanism including a rotational element with an axis, said rotational element being located in the seat and continuously rotatable about the axis, said rotational element being equipped with anchoring latches or groups of anchoring latches that project in an engagement direction over a height of the cover wall to provide exposed latches that engage at least one of the vertebrae, where the anchoring latches or the groups of anchoring latches extend parallel to the axis of the rotational element, said rotational element cooperating with a connecting element situated within the manipulative hole of the cover wall; and a blockade simultaneously permitting continuous rotation of the driving mechanism in a first direction and operable to selectively bock rotation thereof in a second direction, said exposed latches moving along a common direction relative to the cover when the rotational element is continuously rotated so that the implant moves the vertebrae horizontally relative to each other.
