An insertion tool for a vertebral defect device having upper and lower openings includes a first finger sized and shaped to cooperatively engage the upper opening. A second finger is sized and shaped to cooperatively engage the lower opening. An outer surface of each finger is shaped to match a contoured shape of the vertebral defect device proximate to the respective finger to allow a smooth insertion of the vertebral defect device between a pair of adjacent vertebrae. A driving member is sized and shaped to engage a body of the vertebral defect device, such that during insertion the driving member is driven to push the vertebral defect device between the pair of adjacent vertebrae.
