This invention relates to implants formed from donor bone for use in
lumbar interbody fusion procedures and instruments for performing such
procedures. The implants are formed to include a concave surface formed
from a portion of the medullary canal of a long bone. The concaved
surface defines a recess in the implant that serves as a depot for
osteogenic material. Specific instruments for inserting the implants
prepared according to this invention and for preparing the intervertebral
space to receive the implants are also provided.
