This invention provides a synthetic threaded vertebral implant (10, 80, 100) for treatment of spinal deformities. The implant can be formed of variety of materials including synthetic organic materials, composites, and ceramics. The threaded implant can restore and maintain a desired disc space height. In one embodiment, the threaded implant (10, 80, 100) has an elongate cylindrical body (12) with an external thread (26). Implant (10) terminates in a proximal end (16) and an opposite distal end (18). One or both of ends (16, 18) can include chamfer surfaces (20 and 22). |
