Abstract
The present application is directed to spacing devices that attach directly or indirectly to vertebral implants. The spacing device may include a first side that faces the implant, and an angled second side that faces towards a vertebral member. The angled second side matches the shape of the vertebral member. The devices may further include apertures that receive spikes that extend outward from the implant. The second side may also include spikes that bite into and maintain the position of the device against the vertebral member. In one method of use, the spacing device may be rotated relative to the implant for the angled second side to match the vertebral member. The apertures are then placed over the spikes that extend outward from the implant to connect the spacing device to the implant.
