An implant system (16, 18, 20 and 22) for fusing vertebrae includes a variety of shapes that may be stacked to accommodate different intervertebral spacings and curvatures. The implants (16, 18, 20 and 22) comprise polymer-bone composites that have osteogenic properties. By selection of an appropriate set of shapes, the surgeon can tailor the overall shape of the implant before or during surgery, in order to best match the shape of the intervertebral cavity for a particular patient.

L'invention concerne un système d'implant utilisé pour la fusion de vertèbres, qui comprend diverses formes pouvant être empilées afin d'être adaptées à différentes courbures et à différents espacements intervertébraux. Les implants de l'invention comprennent des composites à base de polymères et de matière osseuse présentant des propriétés ostéogéniques. Par sélection d'un ensemble de formes appropriées, le chirurgien peut adapter la forme globale de l'implant avant ou pendant l'opération chirurgicale, afin d'optimiser la forme de la cavité intervertébrale pour un patient particulier.
