A pair of intervertebral prostheses is configured to be implanted above
and below a given vertebral body and each has an end plate configured for
connection to this vertebral body and a securing flange which is assigned
to the end plate and is configured for connection to the vertebral body
from the ventral direction in an implanted position. To ensure that the
securing flanges also have enough space in front of vertebral bodies of
low height, they are offset relative to one another in such a way that
one securing flange is arranged centrally, and the other securing flange
is arranged eccentrically in a symmetrical configuration. The offset can
be provided in the lateral direction and/or in the anterior-posterior
direction relative to the implanted position.
