An invertebral implant for replacing a damage invertebral disk within the spinal column can include a generally flat body having opposing surfaces. To promote bone growth and fusion of the adjacent vertebrae together, in an aspect, the implant can be provided with osteogenic or medicinal material received into one or more apertures disposed into the surfaces of the implant. To better retain the osteogenic material, the apertures can be disposed on a non-perpendicular angle with respect to the implant and/or can be tapered. In another aspect, the implant can include a plurality of grooves disposed across a surface to reduce slipping of the inserted implant between the adjacent vertebrae. In a further aspect, the implant can be formed by cutting a plurality of implants parallel along the diaphysis of a long bone. In another aspect, the implant can be generally as a bow or question mark.
