Abstract
A vertebral replacement implant includes two longitudinal elements slidably mounted with respect to each other, and locking elements. These locking elements include, on one of the longitudinal elements, an anchor surface, and on the other of the longitudinal elements, an anchor shoe guided in translation to take up a first position in which the elements slide freely with respect to each other, and a second position in which the anchor shoe cooperates with the anchor surface to lock the elements together, with a system converting a rotational movement into a translational movement transmitted to the anchor shoe.
