Abstract

A spinal implant that includes a body and extendable teeth within the body is provided. The teeth within the body are extended after positioning of the implant so that the teeth engage the vertebrae/bone and maintain the cage in position. The installed cage provides structural support for the joint. The cage also provides a lattice that facilitates fusion.
