Spinal implant apparatus, method and system

A system for implanting a spinal insert, comprising:

• a central body having a substantially longitudinal axis;
• a first portion extending from the central body and having a first surface adapted to engage a contacting surface and a first slot partially defined in the first surface, the first slot having a width and a length substantially longer than the width, the length extends substantially axially and is positioned offset from the longitudinal axis, the first slot being substantially rectangular in shape;
• a second portion extending from the central body and having a second surface adapted to engage a contacting surface and a second slot partially defined in the second surface, the second slot having a width and a length substantially longer than the width, the length extends substantially axially and is positioned offset from the longitudinal axis, the second slot being substantially rectangular in shape;
• the first slot is substantially parallel to the second slot;
• a first surgical tool removably coupled to at least one of the first slot and the second slot;
• a third portion extending from the central body and having a third surface that is substantially flat;
• a fourth portion extending from the central body and having a fourth surface that is substantially flat;
• a fifth portion extending from the central body and having a fifth surface that is substantially flat with at least one receiving hole;
• a second surgical tool removably coupled to the at least one receiving hole;
• and
• a sixth portion extending from the central body and having a sixth surface that is substantially curved;
• wherein the at least one of the first slot and the second slot, and the receiving hole are designed and oriented to facilitate posterior implantation of the spinal insert.
