Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13 NIV)

Cleveland Spine Review 2014 with VTI's modular interbodies featuring a patented intraoperative assembly technology.
Traditional MIS techniques demand smaller & smaller implants. The VTI technology allows for an MIS approach while still providing the superior biomechanical stability of a large implant footprint with excellent host-implant interface.
The more robust endplate engagement of the VTI Interfuse implants enable them to resist subsidence better than traditional, smaller interbody devices.
According to Dr. Edward C. Benzel, endplate footprint is much more important than short spikes or threads.
