Various exemplary instruments for introducing an implant using a
posterolateral approach are also provided, as well as various exemplary
methods for using such instruments. In general, the instruments are
configured to interconnect to an implant and/or to a guide member such
that the components are all docked relative to one another. This allows
the various components of a multi-piece implant to be mated
intraoperatively within the disc space, and in particular to be guided
into alignment with one another.
