Claim 12:
13. An implant system comprising:
an intervertebral implant comprising:
a top wall including a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface;
a bottom wall opposite the top wall;
a first sidewall having a first outer side surface;
a second sidewall having a second outer side surface positioned opposite the first outer side surface of the first sidewall, wherein the top wall, bottom wall, first sidewall and second sidewall comprise a unitary structure and define an open space capable of receiving bone filling for biological bone fusion, and wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall define apertures from their respective first and second outer side surfaces to respective first and second inner side surfaces, the apertures connected to the open space and configured to promote biological bone fusion through the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and
a first internal screw hole defined by the intervertebral implant and extending from a first entry opening formed in the top wall to a first exit opening formed at least partially in the bottom surface of the top wall and at least partially in a first side surface of the top wall;
a second internal screw hole defined by the intervertebral implant and extending from a second entry opening formed in the top wall to a second exit opening formed at least partially in the bottom surface of the top wall and at least partially in a second side surface of the top wall;
the intervertebral implant including a plurality of surface features on the first and second side surfaces of the top wall and also on first and second side surfaces of the bottom wall, wherein the surface features are on at least middle portions of the first and second side surfaces of the top wall and first and second side surfaces of the bottom wall;
the intervertebral implant including a first indentation on the first outer side surface of the first sidewall of the intervertebral implant and a second indentation on the second outer side surface of the second sidewall of the intervertebral implant, the first indentation having a first bottom boundary positioned closer to the top surface of the top wall than to a bottom of the bottom wall such that an entirety of the first indentation is positioned closer to the top surface of the top wall than to the bottom of the bottom wall, and the second indentation having a second bottom boundary positioned closer to the top surface of the top wall than to the bottom of the bottom wall such that an entirety of the second indentation is positioned closer to the top surface of the top wall than to the bottom of the bottom wall; and

a tool comprising:
an elongate shaft having a first end and a second end; and
a gripper at the first end of the elongate shaft, the gripper comprising a first prong and a second prong,
wherein the first prong and the second prong are capable of respectively engaging the first indentation and the second indentation of the intervertebral implant.
