A spinal fusion device for implantation between adjacent vertebrae is
formed in the approximate shape of a hollow cube. The device has an upper
section and a lower section relatively movable with regard to each other.
The sidewalls of the upper section and the lower section terminate in
complementary inclined planes so that as the sections move away from each
other the height of the device lessens and as the sections move toward
each other the height of the device increases. A distractor is placed
within the hollow body and contacts the upper and lower sections by a
link which is used to adjust the height of the device.
