摘要：
A multi-component implant insertion system for insertion of an intervertebral implant cage and methods of use thereof are described herein. Preferably, the proximal end of a hollow jaw is inserted into the distal end of an inserter. Once inside the inserter, a thread on the jaw engages a corresponding thread inside the inserter, allowing axial advancement of the jaw along the inserter. A ram is inserted through the proximal end of the jaw until the distal end of the ram protrudes at the distal end of the inserter assembly. Optionally, an adjustable stop introduced onto the superior portion of the inserter allows for control over the depth of insertion of the implant. An implant of appropriate size is introduced to the jaw of the inserter assembly and the implant/inserter assembly can be impacted into the vertebral body until the adjustable stop contacts the anterior edge of the vertebral body.
