DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DEPLOYMENT OF AN ANCHORING DEVICE FOR INTERVERTEBRAL SPINAL FUSION
Devices and methods for intervertebral spinal fusion of adjacent intervertebral bodies are provided. An intervertebral spacer is positioned within a narrow disc space between adjacent intervertebral bodies of a patient. The spacer is arranged with upper and lower guides. The guides are adapted to simultaneously guide the deployment of upper and lower anchors of an anchoring device into their respective intervertebral bodies. The spacer is also adapted to lock the upper and lower anchors to the spacer in the deployed position.

INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANTS
An interbody implant can comprise a cage and a porous structure. The cage can comprise an anterior segment, a medial segment, a posterior segment and a lateral segment contiguously connected to each other to define an interior space. The porous structure can be located in the interior space and can be bounded by the cage. The porous structure can comprise opposed superior and inferior surfaces exposed through the cage, an internal cavity located in an interior of the porous structure, and a plurality of ports connecting the internal cavity to the superior and inferior surfaces. A superior-inferior stiffness of the interbody implant can be defined by the porous structure. The porous structure can be compressed within a patient by movement of the spine to biologically stimulate bone growth in vertebrae adjacent the interbody implant. The implant can be configured for lateral, anterior and posterior insertion at different spine levels.
FLEXIBLE INTERBODY SPACER AND METHODS FOR USE
The present disclosure includes implant systems, devices, and implants. The interbody spacers including a first endplate, a second endplate, and a coupling member coupled to and extending between the first endplate and the second endplate. Methods of using the interbody spacers are also disclosed.

Intervertebral implant
The present disclosure relates to an implant for insertion into an intervertebral space between a first vertebral member and a second vertebral member subsequent to a removal of a third vertebral member between the first vertebral member and the second vertebral member, the implant includes a first end, a second end and an implant body. The first end is to be secured to the first vertebral member. The second end is to be secured to the second vertebral member. The implant body is between the first end and the second end, wherein the implant body provides relative motion between the first end and second end.
