INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANT
The invention relates to an intervertebral implant with a contact face (12) which, in the implanted state of the intervertebral implant, bears on a surface of a vertebral body. The implant has a plurality of teeth (13) which protrude relative to the contact face (12) and whose end directed away from the contact face (12) runs out in an edge (19). According to the invention, the edge (19) is rounded, and the radius (r) of the edge (19) is not less than 0.1 mm. Therefore, when the teeth (13) of the implant according to the invention penetrate into the bone of a vertebral body, the bone tissue is not severed but merely compacted. The hold of the implant in the vertebral body is improved.
