Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus (20) for implanting an intervertebral implant (22) in a void between a pair of vertebral endplates comprises a power source (32), a drive mechanism (38, 26) coupled to the power source, and an implant adapter (28) driven by the drive mechanism. The intervertebral implant is removably coupled to the implant adapter to create a seat in at least one of the vertebral endplates as the intervertebral implant is moved relative to the at least one vertebral endplate. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
