Abstract:
A spinal fusion system may include an interbody fusion cage, a fixation plate, and an implanter. The interbody fusion cage may include a proximal region, a distal region opposite the proximal region, a superior region, an inferior region opposite the superior region, and an open volume between the proximal and distal regions. The superior and inferior regions are located between the proximal and distal regions and are configured such that, when the interbody fusion cage is implanted in the disc space, the superior region contacts the inferior end plate and the inferior region contacts the superior end plate. the fixation plate is receivable in the open volume of the interbody fusion cage and includes a superior blade and an inferior blade. At least one of the blades includes a first opening defined therein. The fixation plate is displaceable between a non-deployed state and a deployed state.

Claim (Index 38):
A trial device for testing a size of a disc space between two vertebrae and preparing opposing bone surfaces of the two vertebrae to accept a fusion cage implant, the device comprising:\n a body comprising a superior surface, an inferior surface, an anterior surface, an interior opening extending through the superior surface and the inferior surface, and at least one feature on said body for coupling the body with an insertion device, said body being of size and configuration similar to that of an interbody fusion cage implant; at least one cutting device rotatably disposed in the opening of the body, such that the at least one cutting device can be rotated in such a way as to extend at least one of superiorly above the superior surface of the body or inferiorly below the inferior surface of the body to cut vertebral bone of at least one of the two vertebrae; and an actuator coupled to the at least one cutting device such that actuating the actuator causes the at least one cutting device to rotate and thus cut said vertebral bone.
