Spinal implant system and method

A spinal implant system comprising:

• a monolithic implant body extending along a transverse axis between an anterior surface and a posterior surface, the anterior surface and the posterior surface each extending from a first vertebral engaging surface to an opposite second vertebral engaging surface, the second vertebral engaging surface being fixed relative to the first vertebral engaging surface, the implant body including an opening extending through the vertebral engaging surfaces, the implant body defining a longitudinal axis extending perpendicular to the transverse axis, the implant body further including an oblique surface extending oblique to the axes, the oblique surface having a first end connected to the anterior surface and a second end connected to the posterior surface, the anterior surface being continuously curved from the first end to the posterior surface, the posterior surface being continuously curved from the second end to the anterior surface, the oblique surface defining first and second screw holes each extending oblique to the longitudinal axis through at least one of the vertebral engaging surfaces;
• a first bone screw;
• a second bone screw;
• and
• a plate removably coupled to the oblique surface, the plate comprising spaced apart first and second apertures, the first aperture being aligned with the first screw hole such that the first bone screw extends through the first aperture and the first screw hole, the second aperture being aligned with the second screw hole such that the second bone screw extends through the second aperture and the second screw hole,
• wherein, in use, the oblique surface extends oblique to a lateral axis of a patient body, the lateral axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, and
• wherein implant body has a thickness measured between the first vertebral engaging surface and the second vertebral engaging surface, the thickness being equivalent over an entire length and an entire width of the implant body.
