Abstract
An orthopedic implant system includes an intervertebral implant. The implant includes a body having an upper surface extending generally in a first plane. The upper surface has a first plurality of longitudinal grooves and a second plurality of transverse grooves extending therealong. Portions of the upper surface extend between adjacent longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves form individual peaks. A lower surface extends generally in a second plane, parallel to the first plane. The lower surface has a third plurality of longitudinal grooves and a fourth plurality of transverse grooves extending therealong. Portions of the lower surface extend between adjacent longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves form individual peaks.
Claims19
An orthopedic implant system comprising:
- an intervertebral implant comprising a body having:
- an upper surface having a generally convex shape in an anterior-posterior direction;
- a plurality of upper peaks extending upwardly from the upper surface, each of the upper peaks having a side extending generally perpendicular to the upper surface, wherein adjacent upper peaks in an anterior-posterior direction have upper surfaces angled about 10 degrees with respect to each other;
- a lower surface extending generally in a lower plane;
- and
- a plurality of lower peaks extending downwardly from the lower surface, each of the lower peaks having a side extending generally perpendicular to the lower surface, wherein adjacent lower peaks in the anterior-posterior direction have lower surfaces extending generally parallel with respect to each other;
- and a plate releasably couplable to the body such that, when the plate is coupled to the body, the plate has a first screw recess extending above the upper peaks and a second screw recess extending below the lower peaks.

- a lower surface extending generally in a lower plane;
- and
- a plurality of lower peaks extending downwardly from the lower surface, each of the lower peaks having a side extending generally perpendicular to the lower surface, wherein adjacent lower peaks in the anterior-posterior direction have lower surfaces extending generally parallel with respect to each other;
- and a plate releasably couplable to the body such that, when the plate is coupled to the body, the plate has a first screw recess extending above the upper peaks and a second screw recess extending below the lower peaks.
