1. An intervertebral implant comprising:
a body insertable into an intervertebral space, the body comprising a first face, a second face connected to and opposite the first face, and an axis of rotation extending from the first face to the second face, wherein the body defines a hollow space between the first and second faces configured to accommodate an engagement portion of an insertion device, and first, second, and third openings each formed between the first and second faces, wherein the first, second, and third openings are spaced apart from one another and are interchangeably connectable with the insertion device;
wherein the first opening opens into the hollow space and extends circumferentially around the axis of rotation from a first end to a second end that is angled relative to the first end when viewed in a cross-section perpendicular to the axis of rotation to facilitate pivoting of the intervertebral implant relative to the insertion device about the axis of rotation when the engagement portion of the insertion device is in the hollow space.
