Abstract

See full text

An actuatable insertion instrument for inserting a spinal implant in an intervertebral disc space between adjacent vertebrae. The actuatable insertion instrument includes an indicator pivotably coupled to the elongate shaft of the actuatable instrument for providing visual indication of an angular orientation of a spinal implant removably coupled to the insertion instrument. The insertion instrument also includes a knob which may be rotated to adjust the angular orientation of the spinal implant, and a button mounted to the handle which may be actuated between a first position which allows rotation of the knob to articulate the spinal implant, and a second position which prevents rotation of the knob.
