    摘要: An expandable spinal implant deployable between a collapsed position and an expanded position in a disc space between upper and lower vertebral bodies, the expandable spinal implant comprising a frame comprising a frame proximal end having a proximal wall and a frame distal end having a distal wall, wherein the proximal defines a proximal aperture configured for receiving at least part of an insertion instrument, wherein the distal wall defines a distal aperture; a plug movably disposed in the distal aperture and configured for movement from a proximal position to a distal position within the spinal implant, wherein the plug comprises a threaded outer surface; a first endplate pivotally engaged with the frame and configured to expand outward from the frame, when the plug is moved from the proximal position to the distal position along a length of the implant; a second endplate disposed opposing the first endplate; wherein the first endplate and the second endplate extend from a proximal end of the implant to a distal end of the implant and cooperate to at least partially enclose the frame..
