Abstract
In described embodiments, an implant has an outer perimeter. The implant includes a top surface extending generally in a first plane and a bottom surface extending in a second plane. The second plane extends obliquely with respect to the first plane. The first plane intersects the second plane outside the outer perimeter of the implant. A medial surface extends between the top surface and the bottom surface proximate to the intersection of the first plane and the second plane. A lateral surface extends between the top surface and the bottom surface distal from the intersection of the first plane and the second plane. An anterior surface extends a first distance between the top surface and the bottom surface between the medial surface and the lateral surface. A posterior surface extends a second distance between the top surface and the bottom surface between the medial surface and the lateral surface. The second distance is greater than the first distance.
