Claim:
A bone fusion device for insertion into a desired location, comprising: a. a body having a first end, an interior cavity and an inner surface having one or more recesses; b. one or more tabs each having one or more stops protruding from a perimeter of the tabs, wherein the tabs are configured to selectively move from a retracted position within the body to an extended position extending out of the body in order to brace the bone fusion device in the desired location; c. a positioning element positioned through the first end of the body and substantially within the interior cavity of the body; and d. one or more extending blocks coupled to the positioning element for moving the one or more tabs between the retracted position and the extended position; wherein the recesses are configured to receive the stops when the tabs are inserted into the body and to prevent the tabs from separating from the body by blocking the outward movement of the stops when the tabs are in the extended position.
