    Abstract: An expandable spinal interbody implant having a base member and a displaceable member connected by a screw driven linkage mechanism. The implant may include mechanisms for controlling the implant throughout its full range of expansion and retraction to prevent formation of the implant into undesired profiles in the intervertebral space. The displaceable element may be overlapped with the base in a fully expanded state. Alternatively, the displaceable element may exist fully outside of the base. The displaceable element may be hinged and bent in conjunction with the linkage based implant expansion.

    Abstract: An expandable intervertebral implant is disclosed for use in between adjacent vertebral bodies in a spine. An expandable intervertebral implant may include an upper plate having a first upper side and a second upper side, a lower plate having a first lower side, a second lower side, and a first lattice that connects the first upper side to the first lower side. The expandable intervertebral implant may further include a second lattice that connects the second upper side of the upper plate to the second lower side of the lower plate and an opening having a longitudinal axis between the upper plate, lower plate, first lattice, and second lattice. The expandable intervertebral implant may further include an expansion mechanism comprising a driver that expands the upper plate and the lower plate away from each other along a cephalad-caudal axis by deforming the first lattice and the second lattice.
