The present application discloses intervertebral implants and methods of
using the implants. The implants may include inferior and superior
surfaces, and a sidewall that together form the body of the implant. One
or both of the inferior and superior surfaces may include tapered
surfaces to facilitate distraction of adjacent vertebral members. The
multiple tapered sections allows insertion via multiple surgical
approaches using a single implant thereby negating the need to employ a
plurality of approach-specific implants as is conventional.
