Abstract: An intervertebral implant including a first substantially pyramidal-shaped wedge having: a first pair of laterally extending flanges, and a second pair of laterally extending flanges spaced from the first pair of laterally extending flanges; an upper body having an inferior surface, a superior surface, and a pair of recessed tracks for receiving the first pair of laterally extending flanges; and a lower body having a superior surface, an inferior surface, and a pair of recessed tracks for receiving the second pair of laterally extending flanges. The first substantially pyramidal-shaped wedge is movable between a first position and a second position within the recessed tracks of the upper body and the lower body. The intervertebral implant also includes a case housing the first substantially pyramidal-shaped wedge.

Abstract: An interbody fusion device including pivoting endplates is disclosed. The endplates define grooves between the endplates to house sliding pins. A threaded shaft extends through the implant to connect the endplates and the sliding pins. The implant is fit to be inserted into an intervertebral disc space to pivot according to the natural angles of the adjacent vertebrae. The shaft can be rotated to adjust the sliding pins into a position to provide support to the endplates at the angle they take between the vertebrae.

Abstract: In some embodiments, system and/or method may include an intervertebral implant for a human spine including an upper body, a lower body, first and second expansion members, and an expansion mechanism. A superior surface of the upper body may function to engage a first vertebra of the human spine. An inferior surface of the lower body may function to engage a second vertebra of the human spine. The first expansion member may include at least a first angled portion positionable, during use, between the upper body and the lower body. The second expansion member may include at least a second angled portion positionable, during use, between the upper body and the lower body. An expansion mechanism may convey, during use, the first and second angled portions in opposing directions increasing a separation distance between the upper body and the lower body.

Abstract: A surgical implant assembly includes a surgical implant, a bone plate, and fixation devices. The surgical implant includes a top surface, a bottom surface disposed in opposed relation relative to the top surface, first and second surfaces interconnecting the top and bottom surfaces, and a front surface. First ends of the first and second side surfaces define a back surface extending across a first end of the surgical implant, and the front surface extends across a second end of the surgical implant and interconnects second ends of the first and second side surfaces. At least one cavity is defined in the surgical implant. The bone plate includes an elongate body extending between first and second end portions. The elongate body is positionable adjacent the front surface of the surgical implant. The fixation devices are configured to secure the surgical implant or the bone plate to osseous tissue.
