Abstract

A modular implant for performing an intervertebral fusion on adjacent vertebral bodies in a patient including a first spacer portion, a second spacer and a container having a first end and a second end, the first end of the container constructed to operably engage a first spacer and the second end of the container constructed to operably engage the second spacer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular implant for performing an intervertebral fusion on adjacent vertebral bodies in a patient comprising:
 a first spacer body;   a second spacer body; and   a container having a first end and a second end, the first end of the container constructed to operably engage a first spacer body and the second end of the container constructed to operably engage the second spacer body.   
     
     
         2 . The implant of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second spacers are comprised of PEEK. 
     
     
         3 . The implant of  claim 1 , wherein the container is comprised of PET. 
     
     
         4 . The implant of  claim 1 , wherein the container is porous. 
     
     
         5 . The implant of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first spacer body and the second spacer body includes at least one fill opening. 
     
     
         6 . The implant of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the spacer bodies include markings. 
     
     
         7 . The implant of  claim 6 , wherein the markings project outward to engage the surrounding anatomy. 
     
     
         8 . The implant of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the spacer bodies includes outward projections to engage the surrounding anatomy. 
     
     
         9 . The implant of  claim 1 , further including at least one connecting rod. 
     
     
         10 . The implant of  claim 9 , wherein the connecting rod includes at least one fill opening. 
     
     
         11 . The implant of  claim 1 , including an angulation feature. 
     
     
         12 . The implant of  claim 1  wherein the container is comprised of a conformable material.
