Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a monolithic cervical or lumbar implant body for fusing spinal column segments, comprising: an upper side and a lower side which are spaced apart from one another while maintaining an intermediate space, wherein the upper side and the lower side are connected by webs, wherein the upper side and the lower side, with the exception of shape-defining and structure-reinforcing edge regions, are designed as a honeycomb surface with openings and enclose a wedge-shaped angle; at least one completely or partially open side surface for introducing bone substitute material; and an additional side surface having a stabilisation region and a recess for temporarily receiving a surgical instrument in the stabilisation region. Starting from the surfaces of the shape-defining and structure-reinforcing edge regions, there are several pin-shaped projections oriented in the direction of adjacent spinal column segments. According to the invention, the recess is designed as a continuous or interrupted round thread.
