MODULAR VERTEBRAL IMPLANT WITH END CAP

摘要

An implant for insertion between adjacent vertebral members, comprising an implant body with at least one base section (15,25) and an end cap (40,42). The end cap is adapted for selective positioning on a base section via rotational adjustment of the end cap. The end cap comprises an exterior contact surface (48) that faces away from the implant body when positioned on the base section, a seating surface which contacts the base section when positioned on the implant body, end cap angulation, positioning passages (45) adapted to receive positioning teeth (30), the positioning passages and positioning teeth complimentarily configured to facilitate positioning the end cap on the base section, and a locking mechanism (31,39) adapted to lockingly engage the end cap and base section such that the implant imparts end cap angulation to an adjacent vertebral body at the selected point when the implant is positioned in the intervertebral space.
