Abstract

An intervertebral implant may include a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, a longitudinal axis, a minor diameter, and a helical thread disposed about the shaft along the longitudinal axis between the proximal end and the distal end of the shaft. The helical thread may include a major diameter and a concave undercut surface angled towards one of the proximal end and the distal end of the shaft. The intervertebral implant may be implanted within an intervertebral space between a superior vertebral body and an inferior vertebral body. A ratio of the major diameter to the minor diameter may be less than 1.50. The concave undercut surface may engage the superior vertebral body and the inferior vertebral body and may be shaped to resist at least one force transmitted between the superior vertebral body and the inferior vertebral body to stabilize the intervertebral space.
