An intervertebral implant includes an insertion end, an opposing engagement end, and first and second opposed main surfaces configured to contact respective adjacent vertebral endplates. Each of the first and second main surfaces has an anterior edge, a posterior edge, and extends between the insertion and engagement ends. Anterior and posterior walls are formed between the first and second main surfaces and along the respective anterior and posterior edges and converge at the insertion and engagement ends. A slot is formed at the engagement end and extends continuously between and at least partially along the anterior and posterior walls. A post is positioned within the slot, spaced from at least one of the anterior and posterior walls and extending at least partially between the first and second main surfaces. The post includes a plurality of exposed facets and is configured for engagement with a pivotable insertion instrument.

1. A method for implanting an intervertebral implant into an intervertebral disc space defined between first and second adjacent vertebral bodies, the method comprising the steps of: coupling a distal end of an instrument to a post that is disposed in a slot of the intervertebral implant;after the coupling step, inserting the intervertebral implant to an initial position in the intervertebral disc space while the distal end is in a first configuration whereby the distal end is rotationally fixed to the post;actuating the distal end from the first configuration into a second configuration whereby the distal end is rotatable about the post; andwhile the distal end is in the second configuration, delivering impaction forces to the instrument to advance the intervertebral implant from the initial position toward an implanted position, such that the implant rotates as the implant advances between the initial position and the implanted position, and the post rotates with respect to the distal end of the instrument as the implant rotates in the intervertebral disc space. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of inserting the intervertebral implant into the intervertebral disc space includes delivering initial impaction forces to the instrument such that the intervertebral implant is inserted into the intervertebral space into the initial position. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of delivering initial impaction forces causes the intervertebral implant to distract the first and second vertebral bodies. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the intervertebral implant further defines an anterior wall, a posterior wall spaced from the anterior wall, and a stop surface disposed in the slot and spaced from the post, the stop surface extending continuously from the anterior wall to the posterior wall, wherein the step of delivering impaction forces to the instrument causes the intervertebral implant to rotate with respect to the distal end of the instrument until a portion of the distal end abuts the stop surface. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the stop surface has a first portion and a second portion that is angularly offset with respect to the first portion, wherein the step of delivering impaction forces to the instrument causes the intervertebral implant to rotate with respect to the instrument until the portion of the distal end of the instrument abuts one of the first and second portions of the stop surface. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the first and second portions of the stop surface are contiguous. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the distal end of the instrument defines a grasping portion configured to at least partially surround the post, wherein the step of coupling the distal end to the post includes causing the grasping portion to at least partially surround the post. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the post includes a plurality of exposed facets, and the grasping portion further defines a grasping surface that is complimentary to the plurality of exposed facets of the post, wherein the step of coupling the distal end to the post includes causing the grasping surface to engage the plurality of exposed facets when the distal end is the first configuration, thereby fixing rotational movement of the post relative to the grasping portion. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of actuating the distal end of the instrument includes causing the grasping surface to disengage from the plurality of exposed facets while the grasping portion at least partially surrounds the post so that the post is rotatable with respect to the grasping portion. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the instrument includes a first member and a second member, the second member including the grasping portion, wherein the step of actuating the distal end into the second configuration includes moving the second member relative to the first member such that the grasping portion is placed in the second configuration around the post. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of inserting at least one trial spacer into the intervertebral disc space, the at least one trial spacer defining a first surface, a second surface opposed to the first surface, and a plurality of curved ridges that protrude from the first and second surfaces of the trial spacer and into the respective first and second vertebral bodies so as to define a plurality of curved rails in the respective first and second vertebral bodies. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the step of delivering impaction forces causes the intervertebral implant to engage the respective first and second vertebral bodies such that the intervertebral implant is guided along the plurality of curved rails in the first and second vertebral bodies.
