Abstract:
1. A spinal implant for placement in a space between opposed vertebral bodies, the implant being a single body comprising: a. a first surface for engaging a first vertebral body; b. a second surface for engaging a second vertebral body; and c. at least two extendable fixation elements, each having a distal tip, a contracted configuration within the implant to facilitate deployment of the implant between the first and second vertebral bodies and an extended configuration to extend the distal tip beyond the second surface to engage the second vertebral body and to fix the implant within the space between the first and second vertebral bodies, said at least two extendable fixation elements being independently extendable and laterally spaced apart to define a central cavity between the laterally spaced fixation elements and the opposed vertebral body engaging surfaces, said cavity configured to receive bone graft material for infusion from said cavity into said space between the vertebral bodies, wherein the second surface includes an opening for the at least two extendable fixation elements to extend therethrough at a plurality of angles relative to the second surface.
