Claims20
An interbody endcap comprising:
- a wall having a first surface connected to an interbody implant and a second surface including an arcuate portion configured for engagement with a vertebral endplate surface,
- wherein the second surface extends outwardly from the interbody implant to at least adjacent a perimeter of the vertebral endplate surface.
An interbody endcap comprising:
- a wall having a first surface including a first mating part disposed for engagement with a second mating part of an interbody implant such that the first surface is aligned with the interbody implant such that the wall is disposable in an interlocking configuration with the interbody implant,
- wherein at least one of the mating parts includes a relatively movable member that is engageable with the other of the mating parts to dispose the wall and the interbody implant in the interlocking configuration,
- the wall further having a second surface configured for engagement with a vertebral endplate surface.
A spinal implant comprising:
- an interbody implant extending between a first end and a second end;
- a first interbody endcap having a first surface including a first mating part disposed for engagement with a second mating part of the first end of the interbody implant such that the first surface is aligned with the interbody implant such that the first interbody endcap is disposable in an interlocking configuration with the interbody implant, wherein at least one of the mating parts includes a relatively movable member that is engageable with the other of the mating parts to dispose the first interbody endcap and the interbody implant in the interlocking configuration, the first interbody endcap further including a second surface including an arcuate portion configured for engagement with a first vertebral endplate surface, wherein the second surface extends outwardly from the interbody implant to at least adjacent a perimeter of the first vertebral endplate surface;
- and
- a second interbody endcap having a first surface connected to the second end of the interbody implant and a second surface including an arcuate portion configured for engagement with a second vertebral endplate surface, wherein the second surface extends outwardly from the interbody implant to at least adjacent a perimeter of the second vertebral endplate surface.
