Claim 0:
1. A surgical system configured to treat a functional spinal unit of a subject, the functional spinal unit comprising a superior vertebral bone, an inferior vertebral bone and the intervertebral disc space positioned there between, the surgical system comprising:
an implantable device comprising at least a top surface, an opposing bottom surface, and interconnecting side surface, the implantable device configured and sized to be at least partially seated within the intervertebral disc space; and
a non-implantable device comprising:
(i) a body member comprising a front side and an opposing back side, a top side, a bottom side opposing the top side, a first side, a second side opposing the first side, and an internal cavity;
(ii) a first arm movably coupled to the body member, the first arm extending from a proximal first portion to a distal second portion, the proximal first portion comprising a first portion that extends into the first side of the body member;
(iii) a second arm movably coupled to the body member, the second arm extending from a proximal first portion to a distal second portion, the proximal first portion of the second arm and comprising a portion that at least partially extends into the second side of the body member;
(iv) a third arm configured to at least partially retract into the internal cavity of the body member, the third arm extending from a proximal end surface to a distal end surface and comprising a proximal first portion and a distal second portion, at least a portion of the proximal first portion disposed within the internal cavity of the body member; and
(v) a first tissue retention member rotatably coupled with the distal second portion of the first arm; and
wherein (a) the first arm is configured to rotate about a first rotational axis relative to the body member, the first rotational axis extending from the top side to the bottom side of the body member and through the first portion of the first arm (b) the second arm is configured to rotate about a second rotational axis relative to the body member, the second rotational axis being non-collinear with the first axis, and (c) the proximal end surface of the third arm is positioned within the internal cavity of the body member at least when the third arm is in any retracted position.
