Abstract:
A flexible chain implant for insertion into an interior volume of a vertebral body. The implant may be implanted in an insertion position for sliding through a cannula and is flexible for packing into the interior volume in an implanted configuration. The implant randomly separates in the implanted configuration. The implant includes a top member and a bottom member, wherein the top and bottom members are coupled to one another at a coupled portion. The top and bottom members preferably each include an inner surface such that the inner surfaces include a plurality of alternating projections and recesses so that the projections are received within the recesses in an insertion position. Alternatively, the implant may include a plurality of substantially non-flexible bodies and a plurality of substantially flexible links interconnecting the bodies. The non-flexible bodies include a plurality of facets and/or abutment surfaces.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 2 , wherein the spiral geometry defines a central axis oriented along the longitudinal direction, the plurality of bodies defines a body axis that extends through the centers of the bodies when the flexible chain implant is disposed within the cannula, and the body axis is coincident with the central axis when the flexible chain implant is disposed in the cannula.
