Abstract

A spinal fusion implant (100) for insertion between adjacent vertebral bodies has opposed upper and lower surfaces (110, 112) adapted to contact each of the adjacent vertebral bodies from within the disc space, a leading end (10) for insertion between the adjacent vertebral bodies, and a trailing end (104) opposite the leading end (102). The trailing end (104) has an exterior surface (122) and an outer perimeter with an upper edge (140) and a lower edge (142) adapted to be oriented toward adjacent vertebral bodies, respectively, and a plurality of bone screw receiving holes (126). At least one of the bone screw receiving holes (126) is adapted to only partially circumferentially surround a trailing end of a bone screw (128) received therein. At least one of the bone screw receiving holes passes through the exterior surface (122) and one of the edges so as to permit the trailing end of the bone screw (128) to protrude beyond one of the edges (140,142).

Claims (118)

1. A spinal implant for insertion between adjacent vertebral bodies, comprising:
opposed upper and lower surfaces adapted to contact each of the adjacent vertebral bodies, respectively from within the disc space;
a leading end for insertion between the adjacent vertebral bodies;
a trailing end opposite said leading end, said trailing end having an exterior surface and an outer perimeter with an upper edge and a lower edge adapted to be oriented toward the adjacent vertebral bodies, respectively; and a plurality of bone screw receiving holes in said trailing end, at least one of which is adapted to only partially circumferentially surround a trailing end of a bone screw adapted to be received therein, at least one of said bone screw receiving holes passing through said exterior surface and one of said edges so as to permit the trailing end of the bone screw to protrude beyond said one of said edges.
2. The implant of claim 1, wherein said implant is a fusion implant.
3. The implant of claim 1, wherein a plane of said trailing end is curved.
4. The implant of claim 1, wherein said implant has a height equal to the distance between the adjacent vertebral bodies where installed into the disc space when installed.
5. The implant of claim 1, wherein said outer perimeter of said trailing end has at least one gap therein for permitting a portion of at least an outer diameter of a bone screw to protrude beyond said outer perimeter of said trailing end, said gap in said bone screw receiving hole dimensioned to be less than the outer diameter of the bone screw.
6. The implant of claim 1, wherein at least one of said bone screw receiving holes passing through said exterior surface and one of said edges is C-shaped in cross section.
7. The implant of claim 1, wherein at least one of said bone screw receiving holes passing through said exterior surface and one of said edges has a partial circumference intersecting with the outer perimeter of said trailing end.
8. The implant of claim 1, wherein said trailing end is relieved to allow for a head of a bone screw inserted into one of said bone screw receiving holes to be at least partially recessed.
9. The implant of claim 1, wherein at least two of said plurality of bone screw receiving holes are at different distances from the mid-longitudinal axis of said implant.
10. The implant of claim 1, wherein said trailing end is generally quadrilateral in shape.
11. The implant of claim 1, wherein at least one pair of said plurality of bone screw receiving holes are adapted to orient bone screws to be received therein at an angle to a horizontal mid-longitudinal plane of said implant passing through said leading and trailing ends.
12. The implant of claim 11, wherein said plurality of bone screw receiving holes includes a pair of screw receiving holes along said upper edge and a pair of screw receiving holes along said lower edge, one of said pair of bone screw receiving holes being adapted to position bone screws in a convergent relationship to one another.
13. The implant of claim 12, wherein the other of said pair of bone screw receiving holes is adapted to position bone screws in a divergent relationship to one another.
14. The implant of claim 11, wherein said angle is greater than 15 degrees and less than 60 degrees.
15. The implant of claim 1, further comprising at least one lock for retaining a bone screw within said implant.
16. The implant of claim 15, wherein said at least one lock retains a plurality of bone screws to said implant.
17.
