An interpedicular spacer having a top surface, two opposing end surfaces disposed at distal ends of the top surface, an arched lower surface opposing the top surface, and two screw holes, one each of the screw holes disposed so as to enter the interpedicular spacer through one of the distal ends of the top surface and exit the interpedicular spacer through one of the opposing end surfaces. The spacer is screwed into the pedicles of two adjacent vertebrae after a complete facetectomy, and does not extend out past the posterior margins of the facet complex.
