摘要：
An intervertebral implant assembly includes and inserter tool and an implant having a U-shaped body shaped and dimensioned to be placed between two adjacent vertebras. The U-shaped body comprises a rounded front end, an open back end, first and second elongated components extending from the rounded front end, forming the U-shaped body and ending at the open back end and at least one rigid strut extending from and connecting opposite inner side surfaces of the first and second elongated components. A first through-opening is formed in the space between the front end, the rigid strut and the opposite inner side surfaces of the front portions of the first and second elongated components and a second through-opening is formed in the space between the open back end, the rigid strut and the opposite inner side surfaces of the back portions of the first and second elongated components. The inserter tool comprises a shaft, a middle sleeve and an outer sleeve that work together to attach and lock to the implant.
