Orthopedic Systems for Spine and Tracking Control
First Claim
1. An orthopedic implant system comprising an intervertebral implant comprising a body having:
- an upper surface extending generally in a first plane, the upper surface having a first plurality of longitudinal grooves and a second plurality of transverse grooves extending therealong, wherein portions of the upper surface extending between adjacent longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves form individual peaks; and
a lower surface extending generally in a second plane, oblique to the first plane, the lower surface having a third plurality of longitudinal grooves and a fourth plurality of transverse grooves extending therealong, wherein portions of the lower surface extending between adjacent longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves form individual peaks.

Abstract
An orthopedic implant system includes an intervertebral implant. The implant includes a body having an upper surface extending generally in a first plane. The upper surface has a first plurality of longitudinal grooves and a second plurality of transverse grooves extending therealong. Portions of the upper surface extend between adjacent longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves form individual peaks. A lower surface extends generally in a second plane, parallel to the first plane. The lower surface has a third plurality of longitudinal grooves and a fourth plurality of transverse grooves extending therealong. Portions of the lower surface extend between adjacent longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves form individual peaks.
