`
`ABA lordotic spinal fusion implant for insertion between a first vertebra and
`
`a second vertebra adjacent the first vertebra, the first vertebra having a
`
`generally vertically extending first peripheral wall and a first eefi-ieal—beae
`
`endplate and the second vertebra having a generally vertically extending
`
`second peripheral wall and a second eertieal—boneendplate, wherein the
`
`implant comprises:

`
`halvesesaid implant having a length between said trailing face of said first
`
`terminal part and said insertion face of said second terminal part and parallel
`
`to the longitudinal axis, said implant having a width and a height each
`
`pegpendicular to the length of said implant;
`
`a first side and an opposite second side, said first side and said second
`
`side extending from said first terminal part to said second terminal part,
`
`portions of said first side and said second side being substantially flat, said
`
`substantially flat portions intersecting a second plane that is perpendicular to
`
`the first plane and extends through said insertion face and said trailing face,
`
`wherein said substantially flat portions of said first side and said second side
`
`are symmetrical about the first planeeand, said implant being adapted to be
`
`inserted between the first vertebra and the second vertebra with said first
`
`side and said second side of said implant being oriented toward the first
`
`endplate and the second endplate, respectively, and then rotated ninety
`
`degrees into an upright position, said trailing face having a recessed portion
`
`intersecting each of said first and second sides and being configured to
`
`receive an insertion instrument for inserting said implant between the first
`
`vertebra and the second vertebra-
`
`—an opening between said trailing face and said insertion face and
`
`between said first and second sides to permit for the growth of bone through
