Abstract

See full text

An implant may be formed in a disc space between vertebrae using instruments in an instrumentation set. In some embodiments, the implant may be formed from individual pieces including implant members and connectors. After formation of the implant, the implant may be set using a seater. The seater may fix the position of pieces of the implant relative to each other to inhibit separation of the pieces. The seater may apply force to pieces of the implant. The force applied to the pieces may deform the pieces sufficiently to inhibit subsequent separation of the pieces from each other.
