The invention relates to an intervertebral implant (1), in particular an artificial intervertebral disc. Said implant comprises a central axis (2), in addition to an upper plate-shaped part (10), designed to rest against the lower surface of a vertebral body lying directly above, a lower plate-shaped part (30), designed to rest against the covering surface of a vertebral body lying directly below, whereby a central plate-shaped part (20) is situated between the upper and lower parts (10; 30). A first cylindrical bar (40) with a longitudinal axis (41) is positioned between the upper part (10) and the central part (20) and a second cylindrical bar (50) with a longitudinal axis (51) is positioned between the lower part (30) and the central part (20).
