Abstract
An intervertebral spinal spacer system including a first portion of a modular spacer, the first portion having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer surface, and a second portion of the modular spacer, the second portion having an upper surface a lower surface, and an outer surface, wherein the first portion is selectively engageable with the second portion.
Claims20
An intervertebral spinal spacer comprising:
- (a) a first portion of a modular spacer, the first portion having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer surface;
- (b) a second portion of the modular spacer, the second portion having an upper surface a lower surface, and an outer surface, wherein the first portion is selectively engageable with the second portion, wherein at least one of the first portion or the second portion of the modular spacer defines one or more internal cavities;
- and
- (c) at least one fluid passage defined by the first portion or the second portion, the at least one fluid passage being curved and being in fluid communication with at least one of the one or more internal cavities.

An intervertebral spinal spacer comprising:
- (a) a first portion of a modular spacer, the first portion being selectable from a plurality of spacer elements having different sizes, the first portion having an upper surface, a lower surface, an outer surface, and a first attachment member;
- (b) a second portion of the modular spacer, the second portion being selectable from the plurality of spacer elements having different sizes, the second portion having an upper surface a lower surface, an outer surface, and a second attachment member, wherein the first attachment member is engaged with the second attachment member to interlock the first portion and the second portion, wherein at least one of the first portion or the second portion of the modular spacer defines one or more internal cavities;
- and
- (c) at least one fluid passage defined by the first portion or the second portion, the at least one fluid passage being curved and being in fluid communication with at least one of the one or more internal cavities.
