Abstract
An interbody spinal fusion implant includes a body and a faceplate secured to the body. A recess is formed on a front face of the faceplate and is at least partially bounded by an interior surface. A first screw hole and a spaced apart first locking hole pass through the faceplate from interior surface of the recess. A first locking screw has a shaft threaded into the first locking hole. The first locking screw blocks removal of a bone screw from within the first screw hole when the locking screw is in a retracted position.
