Abstract:
An implant includes a body and a bone fixation system. The body includes an interior area disposed between a superior surface and an opposite inferior surface spaced from the superior surface in a vertical direction. In addition, the bone fixation system includes at least one blade disposed within the interior area of the body in an insertion position. Also, the bone fixation system further includes at least one strike plate engaging the at least one blade in the interior area of the body, the at least one strike plate being configured to move the at least one blade from the insertion position to an impaction position in which at least a portion of the blade protrudes past one of the superior surface and inferior surface of the body. Further, the at least one blade has a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape in a horizontal plane substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction.
