1. A spinal implant, comprising:
a body extending from a proximal surface to a distal surface in a proximal-to-distal direction, extending from a first lateral surface to a second lateral surface in a widthwise direction, and extending from a superior surface to an inferior surface in a vertical direction,
wherein:
the proximal surface extends from a first lower end thereof to a first upper end thereof a first distance,
the distal surface extends from a second lower end thereof to a second upper end thereof a second distance,
the superior surface extends from the first upper end of the proximal surface to the second upper end of the distal surface a third distance, the third distance being defined between a central endpoint of the first upper end of the proximal surface to a central endpoint of the second upper end of the distal surface,
the inferior surface extends from the first lower end of the proximal surface to the second lower end of the distal surface a fourth distance, the fourth distance being defined by a central endpoint of the first lower end of the proximal surface to a central endpoint of the second lower end of the distal surface,
the first distance is greater than the second distance,
the third distance is less than the fourth distance,
in a side view, a first interior angle formed by an intersection of a dominant extension of a side edge of the proximal surface and a dominant extension of a side edge of the inferior surface defines a first acute angle,
in the side view, a second interior angle formed by an intersection of the dominant extension of the side edge of the proximal surface and a dominant extension of a side edge of the superior surface defines a first obtuse angle,
in the side view, a third interior angle formed by an intersection of a dominant extension of a side edge of the distal surface and the dominant extension of the side edge of the superior surface defines a second acute angle, and
in the side view, a fourth interior angle formed by an intersection of the dominant extension of the side edge of the distal surface and a dominant extension of the side edge of the inferior surface defines a second obtuse angle.
