Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is an implant for the intervertebral disc space, for the treatment of scoliosis, kyphosis, stenosis and fractures of the spinal column, which comprises a substantially cylindrical, inflatable, flexible, biocompatible element that has a morphology dependent on the problem to be treated and is suitable for insertion into the intervertebral disc space. The implant can be inflated using an external pressure system in order to allow the injured disc to be lifted, and it can be filled with a material (2) which, once solidified, has an elastic hardness similar to that of a healthy intervertebral disc at the vertebral level in which the implant is to be inserted, said elastic hardness being higher in the area of the lumbar vertebrae and lower in the dorsal or cervical area.
