Abstract: An intervertebral implant assembly includes an implant member and a retention member. The implant member includes a body portion and an attaching portion. The body portion includes first and second surfaces adapted to engage first and second vertebral bodies, respectively. The attaching portion defines a first guide portion that leads into the first surface. The retention member is detachably coupled to the attaching portion of the implant member. In particular, the attaching portion of the implant member is at least partially disposed in the retention member. The retention member defines an access bore configured and dimensioned to receive a bone screw therein. The access bore is in communication with the first guide portion, whereby when the bone screw is inserted through the access bore the bone screw is directed to the first vertebral body through the first guide portion.

Abstract: An intervertebral implant assembly includes first and second support members and a retention member. The first and second support members are configured to engage first and second vertebral bodies, respectively. The first and second support members define first and second guide portions, respectively. In particular, the first and second support members are slidably movable relative to each other. The retention member includes a face plate and an arm member extending from the face plate. The arm member is disposed between the first and second support members to maintain a relative position of the first and second support members. The face plate defines an access through hole in communication with the first and second guide portions.
