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 concave 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.
