An end member (10) for use with an implant for fusion of bones, particularly of vertebrae is disclosed. The end member (10) has a first portion (12), a second portion (14), and a shoulder (16) connecting the two portions (12; 14). The second portion (14) is sized to fit with the bone fusion implant in such a fashion that the shoulder rests on the edge of the implant. The top surface (18) of the first portion (12) has at least one channel (20) to receive a surgical instrument such as an inserter and/or distractor to facilitate implantation of the end member and bone fusion implant. The top surface (18) may also have teeth to provide initial mechanical stability between the bone and end plate and promote bone fusion.
