A spinal implant comprising:
- a body including a first vertebral engaging surface and a second vertebral engaging surface, at least one of the surfaces including a posterior linear side that is linear from a first end of the posterior linear side to an opposite second end of the posterior linear side and an anterior arcuate side that is continuously curved from a first end of the anterior arcuate side to an opposite second end of the anterior arcuate side, at least one of the surfaces including a first linear side that connects the first ends and a second linear side that connects the second ends,
- wherein the body includes first and second notches and a threaded opening positioned between the notches, the first notch extending into the first linear side and the posterior linear side, the second notch extending into the first linear side and the anterior arcuate side.
A spinal implant comprising:
- a body including a first vertebral engaging surface and a second vertebral engaging surface, the body including a posterior wall extending between the surfaces that is linear from a first end of the posterior wall to an opposite second end of the posterior wall, the body including an anterior wall extending between the surfaces that is continuously curved from a first end of the anterior wall to an opposite second end of the anterior wall, the body including a first wall that connects the first ends and a second wall that connects the second ends,
- wherein the body includes first and second notches and a threaded opening positioned between the notches, the first notch extending into the first wall and the posterior wall, the second notch extending into the first wall and the anterior wall.
A spinal implant comprising:
- a body including a first vertebral engaging surface and a second vertebral engaging surface, the body including a posterior wall extending between the surfaces that is linear from a first end of the posterior wall to an opposite second end of the posterior wall, the body including an anterior wall extending between the surfaces that is continuously curved from a first end of the anterior wall to an opposite second end of the anterior wall, the body including a first wall that connects the first ends and a second wall that connects the second ends,
