1. The invention relates to a spinal column implant in veterinary- or hu-man medicine for stabilizing of spinal co-lumn segments. 2.1 Known implants of this kind which are installed between the spinous processes for stabilizing of spinal column segments, require a medial access and the re-section of the ligamentum supraspinale, which can have a deleterious effect on the li-gament and on wound healing. 2.2 The im-plant according to the invention features a stirrup whose free ends run in the direction of the spinous processes. The free ends are provided with means to rest against the spi-nous processes, wherein at least one of the means is designed as a saddle-like support.
The width of the implant can be reduced for implantation so that a lateral implantation between the spinous processes is possible without destruction of the ligamentumsu-praspinale.
