Abstract
An implant assembly including a curved mesh cage and angled endplates. The implant assembly offers a safe and secure mesh cage while providing lordosis/kyphosis angling at the center of the construct instead of at the end of the cage only. One or more angled endplates may be included which allow the surgeon to make a construct unique to the patient's anatomy. The endplates press-fit into corresponding holes in the mesh cage for a secure fit.
