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 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 footplate includes a first surface oriented toward the first member, a second surface oriented away from the first member, and a sidewall extending between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface includes an alignment slot facing the first member. The alignment slot is open through the sidewall of the first footplate and configured to slidingly engage the first member to orient the first footplate relative to the first member.
