Abstract
A bone cage may include first and second spaced apart frames defining a bone ingrowth cavity therebetween, a plurality of first protrusions each having a proximal end coupled to the first frame and a distal end extending into the cavity toward the second frame but not contacting the second frame, and a plurality of second protrusions each having a proximal end coupled to the second frame and a distal end extending into the cavity toward the first frame but not contacting the first frame. Furthermore, the distal ends of the first protrusions may be laterally offset from the distal ends of the second protrusions.
