Abstract
An intervertebral implant for supporting vertebrae that includes an anterior end element, a posterior end element, and four wings disposed between the anterior end element and the posterior end element. The four wings and the anterior and posterior end elements define a substantially open central space. The wings are arranged in pairs facing in opposed directions and include teeth facing in those opposed directions for gripping substantially planar surfaces at opposite sides of the implant.
