Abstract
A spinal fusion implant comprising: a substantially rectangular body having a distal end and a proximal end, and an upper surface and a lower surface; and an upper stabilizer extending upwardly from the upper surface of the substantially rectangular body, and a lower stabilizer extending downwardly from the lower surface of the substantially rectangular body; wherein (i) the distance between the distal end of the substantially rectangular body and the proximal end of the substantially rectangular body is long enough to span the distance between opposing cortical portions of a vertebral body and short enough to not extend substantially beyond the vertebral body, and (ii) the distance between the upper surface of the substantially rectangular body and the lower surface of the substantially rectangular body is substantially the same as the gap between opposing vertebral bodies in a spinal joint.
