Steerable interbody fusion cage
Abstract:
Intervertebral spacers, such as interbody vertebral cages, that facilitate minimally-invasive corrective restoration surgeries, and related methods. In some implementations, an introducer may be used introduce an intervertebral spacer in a first, straightened shape into an intervertebral disc space. The introducer may engage a plurality of adjacent recesses of the intervertebral spacer to maintain the intervertebral spacer in the first, straightened shape during introduction. An introducer, in some cases the same introducer, may be used to articulate the intervertebral spacer by actuating at least one hinge of the intervertebral spacer such that the intervertebral spacer assumes a second, curved shape once within the intervertebral disc space.
