The present invention is directed to an allograft intervertebral implant
sized and configured for insertion between adjacent vertebral bodies in a
spinal fusion surgery. The implant is preferably manufactured from two or
more pieces of allograft bone joined together by a joint, more preferably
a dovetail joint. The dovetail joint being sized and configured to
substantially follow the exterior shape or surface (e.g. perimeter) of
the intervertebral implant. The intervertebral implant may also include
one or more bone pins for joining the allograft pieces, the pins being
inserted into the implant at an angle substantially perpendicular with
respect to the dovetail joint. The intervertebral implant may also
include one or more through-bores for receiving ostegenic or bone graft
material. The intervertebral implant is preferably sized and configured
for insertion during a T-PLIF or PLIF procedure.
