Abstract: Surgical instrumentation may be used to insert a spinal implant into a vertebral space while in a contracted condition and then deploy the spinal implant into an expanded condition.
Abstract: Surgical instrumentation for use in placing an implant into a disc space between a pair of spinal vertebrae may include: (a) a distractor having a distal end that may be placed into the disc space between the pair of spinal vertebrae; (b) an inserter for use in moving the implant toward the disc space between the pair of spinal vertebrae; and, (c) a distractor/inserter rail/groove interconnection that interconnects the distractor and the inserter for relative movement thereby.
