Abstract
Consistent with the present disclosure, retention assemblies for maintaining the relative position of adjacent vertebral bodies and an implantable device positioned therebetween are described herein. Such retention assemblies may include a plate body and a coupler. The plate body may include structures to allow fixedly attaching the retention assembly to adjacent intervertebral bodies, using vertebral body screws or the like, for example. Furthermore, the coupler may include expandable structures to engage a portion of an implantable device to fixedly attach the retention assembly to the implantable device. Accordingly, once the retention assembly is deployed, the implantable device is fixedly held in relation to the adjacent vertebral bodies, decreasing post operative movement of the implantable device relative to the adjacent vertebral bodies.
