An expandable intervertebral implant for stabilizing adjacent vertebrae includes first and second opposed and operatively connected shells. Each one of the shells has a plurality of engaging members that are interdigitated with a corresponding plurality of engaging members of another of the shells. The implant also includes at least one extrusion opening and a cavity for containing osteogenic material. As one shell is moved relative to the other shell with a threaded actuator operatively connecting the shells, a volume of the cavity decreases and osteogenic material is extruded through the extrusion opening. A cross section of the implant at one or both ends thereof has a curvalinear shoulder for improved support of the vertebrae during bony growth and fusion of the vertebrae.

A bone screw comprises a threaded shank having an axis of rotation. A head is integral with the shank, and the head includes a surface disposed generally normal to the axis. A plurality of drive receivers are disposed about the surface wholly remote from the axis. Each of the drive receivers is adapted for engagement with a cooperating driver element of a rotary driver so that the head and thereby the shank may be rotated about the axis.

A bone screw fixation assembly comprises a longitudinally extending member having an aperture therethrough defining an inner wall with spaced first and second end portions. A first set of threads are formed in the inner wall at the first end portion for receiving a cooperating second set of threads disposed about the exterior of a fixation device. A longitudinally extending fam rod has first and second spaced ends, and the jam rod is receivable in the aperture for permitting the jam rod first end to engage the fixation device when received within the member first end portion. A locking mechanism is operably associated with the member for selectively locking the jam rod in engagement with the received fixation device so that movement of the first set of threads relative to the second set of threads is prevented.
