Abstract
A surgical instrument for creating and preparing a cavity in a bony intervertebral body is provided with asymmetrical cutting structures. These asymmetrical cutting structures selectively open a cavity which has a relatively large surface area in the vertical direction. In one embodiment, the cutting structure includes a shearing element that sweeps out a cutting arc that is larger than the instrument delivery area.
