Abstract
The intersomatic spine implant comprises a body, at least one anchoring element movable relative to the body to project from a contact face of the body making contact with a vertebra, and at least one cam slidable relative to the body and suitable for displacing the anchoring element relative to the body by the effect of a ramp engaging the anchoring element. The cam and the anchoring element are arranged so that the cam moves the anchoring element in two opposite displacement directions.
