15. A spinal implant comprising:
-
an implant body extending between an anterior surface and a posterior surface, and including a first vertebral engaging surface and a second vertebral engaging surface, the implant body further including an inner surface that defines at least one cavity that defines a longitudinal axis disposed at an oblique angle relative to a direct lateral axis of a subject body, the longitudinal axis being substantially aligned with an oblique surgical pathway such that the at least one cavity is configured to receive a fastener via the pathway and implant the fastener adjacent an intervertebral space of the subject body, and the implant body further including an oblique flange the defines at least one opening disposed in substantial alignment with the at least one cavity. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A spinal implant comprising:
-
an implant body extending between an anterior surface and a posterior surface, and including a first vertebral engaging surface and a second vertebral engaging surface, the implant body further including an inner surface that defines a first screw hole and a second screw hole disposed in substantially parallel alignment, the screw holes being oriented to implant fasteners oblique relative to a lateral axis of a subject body and adjacent an intervertebral space of the subject body, and the implant body further including an oblique surface having a first flange that defines a third screw hole oriented to implant a fastener with a first vertebra and a second flange oriented to implant a fastener with a second vertebra.
