The present application is directed to intervertebral implants. The
implants may include a body with superior and inferior surfaces, and a
sidewall. An interior section may be positioned within the body and sized
to contain bone growth material. An opening extends through one or both
of the superior and inferior surfaces to access the interior section. A
cover may be attached to the body to extend across the opening. In some
embodiments, the cover includes teeth that engage a vertebral member. The
cover may further include a plate that extends across the opening, and an
attachment mechanism to attach the cover to the body. One method of using
the implant may include inserting bone growth material into the interior
section and attaching the cover to close the opening. The implant may
then be inserted into the intervertebral space.
