Content
For example, in one embodiment, the expandable intervertebral implant may have two parts, a structure for the expandable intervertebral implant and an expansion mechanism, such as a screw member. An expandable intervertebral implant that includes just a structure that forms the expandable intervertebral implant, and the expansion mechanism can be simpler than other implants and can be easier to operate and install during a surgical procedure. In addition, certain embodiments of the expandable intervertebral implant may include an expansion mechanism that includes a plurality of screw members, each having a different diameter. In such an embodiment, a surgeon can choose which diameter screw member to use to achieve a target expanded configuration. Of course, one skilled in the art may recognize other situations and advantages of an expandable intervertebral implant having a minimal number of parts; this disclosure contemplates all such situations and advantages.
