A device (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610) for supporting adjacent bony portions includes a body (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611) having a first end (12, 212) and an opposite second end (13, 213.) The body (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611) is positionable in a space between the adjacent bony portions with the first and second ends (12, 212, 13, 213) oriented toward respective ones of the adjacent bony portions. At least one of the first and second ends (12, 212, 13, 213) includes bone engaging surfaces (40, 50.) An end member (80, 90, 180, 282, 284, 380, 480, 580, 680, 780) substantially covers the bone engaging surfaces (40, 50) with a bio-absorbable material on at least one end of the body (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611.) The end member (80, 90, 180, 282, 284, 380, 480, 580, 680, 780) provides a smooth surface profile to facilitate insertion of the body (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611) in the space between the adjacent bony portions.

Un dispositif (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610) destiné à supporter des parties osseuses adjacentes comprend un corps (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611) qui présente une première extrémité (12, 212) et une deuxième extrémité opposée (13, 213). Le corps (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611) peut être positionné dans un espace situé entre les parties osseuses adjacentes alors que les première et deuxième extrémités (12, 212, 13, 213) sont orientées en direction des extrémités respectives des parties osseuses adjacentes. Au moins une des première et deuxième extrémités (12, 212, 13, 213) comporte des surfaces (40, 50) de contact avec l'os. Un élément terminal (80, 90, 180, 282, 284, 380, 480, 580, 680, 780) recouvre sensiblement les surfaces (40, 50) en contact avec l'os avec un matériau bioabsorbable sur au moins une extrémité du corps (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611.) L'élément terminal (80, 90, 180, 282, 284, 380, 480, 580, 680, 780) comporte un profil de surface lisse qui facilite l'insertion du corps (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611) dans l'espace situé entre les parties osseuses adjacentes.
