This invention is an oversized spinal implant (100) for trans-lateral insertion into the disc space between two vertebrae, a length that is greater than one half of the transverse width of the vertebrae, and is greater than the depth of the vertebrae. The trans-lateral implant of the present invention has a height that is greater than the height of the disc space between two adjacent vertebrae so as to engage both of the vertebrae. The width of the implant need be only slightly less than the depth of the vertebrae themselves. The trans-lateral spinal fusion implant of the present invention has more surface area of contact, and thus permits greater stability so as to withstand torque, and in the case of a threaded implant, increases the depth in which any threads are able to penetrate the vertebrae.

L'invention concerne une arthrodèse surdimensionnée en vue de son insertion translatérale dans l'espace intervertébral entre deux vertèbres. La longueur de l'arthrodèse est supérieure à la moitié de la largeur transversale des vertèbres et est également supérieure à la profondeur des vertèbres. L'implant translatéral selon l'invention présente une hauteur qui est supérieure à la hauteur de l'espace intervertébral entre deux vertèbres adjacentes de manière à se mettre en prise avec les deux vertèbres. La largeur de l'implant ne doit être que légèrement inférieure à la profondeur des vertèbres elles-mêmes. L'arthrodèse selon l'invention présente ainsi une aire de surface de contact supérieure et offre une plus grande stabilité de manière à résister aux couples. Dans le cas d'un implant fileté, elle augmente la profondeur de pénétration des filetages dans les vertèbres.
