The present invention is directed to a variety of interbody spinal fusion implants (20) having at least a partially frusto-conical configuration. An external thread (28) is employed to increase implant stability and implant surface area, and for the purpose of advancing the spinal fusion implant (20) into the fusion site. The spinal fusion implants (20) of the present invention may be relatively solid or hollow and may have surface roughening to promote bone ingrowth and stability. The spinal fusion implants (20) of the present invention may have wells extending into the material of the implant from the surface for the purpose of holding fusion promoting materials and to provide for areas of bone ingrowth fixation.
