Vertebral column implant for stabilization and stiffening of vertebral bodies of a vertebral column

Provided is a vertebral column implant (1) for stabilization and stiffening of vertebral bodies of a vertebral column, comprising first bone screws (6) screwable into a vertebral body and second bone screws (2) screwable into a vertebral body. First connecting elements (8) are rigid and are fixed in the first receiving means (7) of the first bone screws (6). Second connecting elements (5) are elastic and are fixed in the second receiving means (4) of the second bone screws (2). A first connecting element (8) and a second connecting element (5) are connectible to one another by means of coupling means (9) in each case. To this end, the coupling means (9), with a first region (10), are able to be attached to a second bone screw (2) in a releasable way, in which an end region (11) of a second connecting element (5) is held. In addition, the coupling means (9) with a second region (12) are connectible to an end region (13) of a first connecting element (8). By the invention, the rigid region of the vertebral colu
