Abstract
A vertebral body replacement device includes a first member and a first footplate detachably connectable to the first member, a second member and a second footplate detachably connectable to the second member, and a central member detachably connectable to the first member. The first member is axially displaceable relative to the second member in response to rotation of the central member relative to the first member to adjust the length of the vertebral body replacement device. The first member includes a pair of first fastener holes and a pair of second fastener holes angularly offset from the first fastener holes. The first footplate includes an aperture configured to align with one of the first fastener holes to orient the footplate in a first position or one of the second fastener holes to orient the footplate in a second position.
