Abstract
An inter-vertebral implant having a hollow frame having a top load bearing surface and a bottom load bearing surface may be inserted between a first spinal vertebra and a second spinal vertebra. The top load bearing surface and the bottom load bearing surface may each include an opening allowing access to the interior of the frame. A front surface may extend between the top load bearing surface and the bottom load bearing surface, and a rear surface may extend between the top load bearing surface and the bottom load bearing surface. A plate is attached to the front surface of the support device. The interior front plate may be arranged along a plane (P), and an axis (A) between the top load bearing surface and the bottom load bearing surface may be at a non-right angle relative to the plane (P).
