Abstract
A cage for use in a spinal repair system wherein a pair of inert, relatively open bone-graft contouring cages are disposed between adjacent vertebrae mounted to the boney structure of these vertebrae wherein the vertebrae will knit together and act as a single unit. The upper and lower surfaces of the cages follow an arcuate path for increased contact with the abutting surfaces of the vertebrae themselves.
