Bone fusion device, apparatus and method

A method of operation of a bone fusion system, the method comprising:

• a. spreading fingers of an insertion instrument with a control mechanism of the insertion instrument, wherein one or more of the fingers comprise a fingertip that protrudes laterally from the finger;
• b. sliding the fingers of the insertion instrument into one or more surface channels of a fusion body of a bone fusion device and inserting a drive mechanism of the insertion instrument into a positioning aperture of a positioning element of the bone fusion device, wherein each of the surface channels comprise a gripping aperture positioned within the surface channels for receiving the fingertip of the fingers and the fusion body has a front end and an interior cavity, and further wherein the channels are accessible from the front end and extend through a plane perpendicular to the front end;
• c. contracting the fingers with the control mechanism such that the fingertips of the fingers move into gripping apertures of the surface channels and the insertion instrument is detachably coupled with the bone fusion device;
• and
• d. positioning the bone fusion device into a desired position with the insertion instrument.
