    Abstract: Implants and methods for augmentation, preferably by minimally invasive procedures and means, of body tissue, including in some embodiments repositioning of body tissue, for example, bone and, preferably vertebrae are described. The implant may comprise one or more chain linked bodies inserted into the interior of body tissue. As linked bodies are inserted into body tissue, they may fill a central portion thereof and for example in bone can push against the inner sides of the cortical exterior surface layer, for example the end plates of a vertebral body, thereby providing structural support and tending to restore the body tissue to its original or desired treatment height. A bone cement or other filler can be added to further augment and stabilize the body tissue. The preferred implant comprises a single flexible monolithic chain formed of allograft cortical bone having a plurality of substantially non-flexible bodies connected by substantially flexible links.

    Abstract: The present application is directed to a spinal implant (10) , preferably a bioresorbable spinal implant, for insertion between vertebrae bodies. The implant preferably includes an anterior surface (12) , a posterior surface (14) , first and second lateral surfaces (16,18) extending therebetween, a superior surface (20) for engaging one of the vertebrae bodies, an inferior surface (22) for engaging the other vertebrae body, and a central bore (30) which extends from the superior surface to the inferior surface. The central bore preferably has a generally lobe- shaped footprint. The anterior surface of the implant preferably includes a pair of vertical channels (40) sized and configured to engage an insertion instrument and the superior surface preferably has a convexly curved surface extending substantially from the anterior surface to the posterior surface while the inferior surface preferably has a substantially constant taper extending from the anterior surface to the posterior surface.
