This invention consists in an implant to be placed between the lumbar
spinous and lumbar-sacral apophysis in order to keep them separated and
enable a normal flexion and extension range. The implant is a cuneiform
body which frontal end is rounded and higher than the rear end thus
forming an open angle towards the frontal part of the implant. It has two
supporting surfaces, opposite to the spinous apophysis and having in its
most rear end two sharp edges which are opposite to the spine and located
transversally to the longitudinal axis of said faces, and wherein said
supporting surfaces are confined by two rhomboidal surfaces which major
axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the implant.
