Abstract
Spinal implants for use in fusion procedures, such as sacroiliac fusion procedures, are provided. The implant provides mechanical stability when inserted into an anatomical structure(s) until fusion occurs. In certain embodiments, the implant may comprise a multi-surfaced, cross-sectional configuration, such as a 6-starred shaped (hexalobular) cross-sectional configuration, and radially dispersed longitudinal splines. When used for sacroiliac fusion procedures, the implant is configured to prevent sacroiliac joint spreading.
