In order to improve an implant, in particular a bone replacement implant
for insertion into a bone cavity, or an intervertebral implant for
insertion between two adjacent vertebral bodies of a human or animal
spine, which can be brought from a normal position, in which the implant
encompasses a maximum total volume, into an insertion position, in which
the implant encompasses an insertion volume, which is smaller than the
maximum total volume, such that the implant can be inserted through as
small as possible an opening in a human or animal body and nevertheless
have a high inherent stability, it is proposed that the implant has a
plurality of cavities in fluidic connection with one another, and that a
net volume encompassed in the normal position by the plurality of
cavities in fluidic connection with one another is smaller than the
maximum total volume.
