1. A spinal implant comprising: a body including a first vertebral engaging surface and a second vertebral engaging surface, at least one of the surfaces including a posterior linear side that is linear from a first end of the posterior linear side to an opposite second end of the posterior linear side and an anterior arcuate side that is continuously curved from a first end of the anterior arcuate side to an opposite second end of the anterior arcuate side, at least one of the surfaces including a first linear side that connects the first ends and a second linear side that connects the second ends,wherein the body includes first and second notches and a threaded opening positioned between the notches, the first notch extending into the first linear side and the posterior linear side, the second notch extending into the first linear side and the anterior arcuate side. 2. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein each of the surfaces include a posterior linear side and an anterior arcuate side. 3. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the first linear side is linear from the first end of the posterior linear side to the first end of the anterior arcuate side and the second linear side is linear from the second end of the posterior linear side to the second end of the anterior arcuate side. 4. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein each of the surfaces include the posterior linear side, the anterior arcuate side, the first linear side and the second linear side. 5. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the body comprises a fixed fulcrum disposed between vertebral engaging surfaces. 6. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the anterior arcuate side spans a greater length than the posterior linear side. 7. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the linear sides each include a threaded opening configured for engagement with a surgical inserter. 8. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the first and second linear sides each include a threaded opening and at least one notch disposed adjacent the opening, the opening and the notch being configured for engagement with a surgical inserter. 9. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the first linear side includes a first threaded lateral opening and a pair of notches disposed adjacent the first opening and the second linear side includes a second threaded lateral opening and a pair of notches disposed adjacent the second opening. 10. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the body includes an opening that extends through the surfaces, the opening being configured for disposal of an agent. 11. A spinal implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the body includes third and fourth notches and a second threaded opening positioned between the third and fourth notches, the third notch extending into the second linear side and the posterior linear side, the fourth notch extending into the second linear side and the anterior arcuate side. 12. A spinal implant comprising: a body including a first vertebral engaging surface and a second vertebral engaging surface, the body including a posterior wall extending between the surfaces that is linear from a first end of the posterior wall to an opposite second end of the posterior wall, the body including an anterior wall extending between the surfaces that is continuously curved from a first end of the anterior wall to an opposite second end of the anterior wall, the body including a first wall that connects the first ends and a second wall that connects the second ends,wherein the body includes first and second notches and a threaded opening positioned between the notches, the first notch extending into the first wall and the posterior wall, the second notch extending into the first wall and the anterior wall. 13. A spinal implant as recited in claim 12, wherein the first wall is linear from the first end of the posterior wall to the first end of the anterior wall and the second wall is linear from the second end of the posterior wall to the second end of the anterior wall. 14. A spinal implant as recited in claim 12, wherein the first wall includes a first threaded lateral opening and a pair of notches disposed adjacent the first opening and the second wall includes a second threaded lateral opening and a pair of notches disposed adjacent the second opening. 15. A spinal implant as recited in claim 12, wherein the body includes third and fourth notches and a second threaded opening positioned between the third and fourth notches, the third notch extending into the second wall and the posterior wall, the fourth notch extending into the second wall and the anterior wall. 16. A spinal implant comprising: a body including a first vertebral engaging surface and a second vertebral engaging surface, the body including a posterior wall extending between the surfaces that is linear from a first end of the posterior wall to an opposite second end of the posterior wall, the body including an anterior wall extending between the surfaces that is continuously curved from a first end of the anterior wall to an opposite second end of the anterior wall, the body including a first wall that connects the first ends and a second wall that connects the second ends,wherein the first wall is linear from the first end of the posterior wall to the first end of the anterior wall and the second wall is linear from the second end of the posterior wall to the second end of the anterior wall,wherein the body includes first and second notches and a threaded opening positioned between the notches, the first notch extending into the first wall and the posterior wall, the second notch extending into the first wall and the anterior wall, andwherein the body includes third and fourth notches and a second threaded opening positioned between the third and fourth notches, the third notch extending into the second wall and the posterior wall, the fourth notch extending into the second wall and the anterior wall.
