Summary: | A spinal cage (10) includes first and second spinal attachment members (12, 14) attachable to vertebrae, the first and second spinal attachment members (12, 14) articulating with one another by means of an articulation joint (11), and a wedge element (20) arranged for wedging between the first and second spinal attachment members (12, 14). An actuator (22) is linked to the wedge element (20) for moving the wedge element (20) axially with respect to the first and second spinal attachment members (12, 14). The actuator includes a threaded member (24) adjacent the wedge element (20). Upon turning of the threaded member (24), the wedge element (20) is advanced with respect to the articulation joint (11) so that the first and second spinal attachment members (12, 14) are tilted or parallel to each other. |
