The present disclosure relates to a surgical device, such as a surgical implant, which may be used in several types of procedures. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to implants for use in an anterior, posterior, posterior lateral or direct lateral approach to the disc space. The surgical device may be manipulated in various manners to accommodate delivery through a minimally invasive portal in one configuration and adjusted to a second configuration once placed in the intervertebral space. A delivery system for placing the surgical device in a body is also disclosed. 1. A surgical device for insertion in an intervertebral space between adjacent vertebrae , the device comprising:a first module including a bore;an armature slidingly engagable in the bore of the first module, wherein the armature can be introduced at least partially into the bore during a surgical procedure; anda second module connectable to a distal end of the armature, wherein the surgical device has an adjustable configuration achieved by adjustment of the position of the armature within the bore of the first module, and wherein the second module can be interconnected to the armature during the surgical procedure.2. The surgical device of claim 1 , wherein the armature is rotatably adjustable in the bore of the first module.3. The surgical device of claim 1 , wherein the armature is adapted to be adjusted after insertion of the surgical device in the intervertebral space to extend the surgical device across a portion of the disc space to provide bi-lateral support to the adjacent vertebrae.4. The surgical device of claim 1 , wherein the surgical device includes a stop to maintain the armature and the second module in a desired position.5. The surgical device of claim 4 , wherein the stop comprises an aperture of the first module adapted to receive a threaded fixture that can be rotated to apply a force to the armature.6. The surgical device of claim 1 , further comprising an aperture ...
