Coiled implants and systems and methods of use thereof
First Claim
1. An implant comprising:
- an anterior plate forming a first monolithic structure defining a first end of the implant;
a posterior plate forming a second monolithic structure defining a second end of the implant opposite the first end of the implant;
a central support portion extending between the anterior plate and the posterior plate;
a side wall extending between the anterior plate and the posterior plate and defining a portion of the outside perimeter of the implant;
a first exterior arced member disposed proximate the side wall and the posterior plate; and
a first interior arced member is disposed proximate the central support member and the posterior plate;
wherein the first exterior arced member curves in a superior direction such that a portion of the first exterior arced member forms a portion of a bone contacting superior surface of the implant; and
wherein the first interior arced member curves in a superior direction such that a portion of the first interior arced member forms a portion of the bone contacting superior surface of the implant.

Abstract
An implant includes an anterior plate defining a first end of the implant and a posterior plate defining a second end of the implant opposite the first end of the implant. The implant also includes a central support portion extending between the anterior plate and the posterior plate. The implant further includes a side wall extending between the anterior plate and the posterior plate and defining a portion of the outside perimeter of the implant; a first exterior arced member disposed proximate the side wall and the posterior plate; and a first interior arced member is disposed proximate the central support member and the posterior plate. The exterior arced member and the interior arced member curve in a superior direction such that portions of the exterior and interior arced members form portions of a bone contacting superior surface of the implant.
