The wedge shape of the present disclosure can be seen in FIGs 1C and 1D. A first height H1 measured from a distal end 122 of the upper endplate 110 to a distal end 132 of the lower endplate 112 is greater than a second height H2 measured from a proximal end 120 of the upper endplate 110 to a proximal end 130 of the lower endplate 112. In certain embodiments, the surface of one, or both of, the upper endplate 110 and the lower endplate 112 from the distal ends 122, 132 to the proximal ends 120, 130 can be straight. In other embodiments, such as the embodiment illustrated in FIGs 1C, 1D, the surface of one, or both of, the upper endplate 110 and the lower endplate 112 from the distal ends 122, 132 to the proximal ends 120, 130 can include a camber.
