INTERVERTEBRAL DEVICES

Abstract: a kit of parts from which selection is made to form an intervertebral fusion device. the kit of parts comprises a plurality of different endplates and a core component. each of the plurality of different endplates is configured to be received in an intervertebral space defined between first and second vertebrae. the core component is configured to engage with each of the plurality of endplates and a selected one of the plurality of endplates when the selected endplate and the core component are received in the intervertebral space. each of the plurality of endplates defines a bone graft aperture which is open at top and bottom surfaces of the endplate and extends between the top and bottom surfaces, the thus defined bone graft apertures being of substantially the same dimensions as one another when the plurality of endplates are in plan view. the core component defines a bone graft material holding space having a holding space opening in one of a core component top surface and a core component bottom surface of the core component. the holding space opening is of substantially the same dimensions as each of the bone graft apertures when the core component is in plan view. the holding space opening is substantially coextensive with the bone graft aperture of the selected endplate in plan view and when the core component is engaged with and in registration with the selected endplate.
