INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANTS AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

The present application discloses intervertebral implants and methods of using the implants. The implants may include inferior (14) and superior surfaces (14), and a sidewall (18) that together form the body (12) of the implant. One or both of the inferior and superior surfaces may include tapered surfaces (30, 32, 34) to facilitate distraction of adjacent vertebral members. The multiple tapered sections allows insertion via multiple surgical approaches using a single implant thereby negating the need to employ a plurality of approach-specific implants as is conventional.
