Content
Similarly, the lower plate 120 can include a plurality of teeth 330 and a plurality of grooves (See Figure 3C). The plurality of teeth 330 can connect to the lower plate 120 along a surface of the lower plate 120. The plurality of teeth 330 serve to engage an inferior vertebral body. The number of teeth 330 and/or their positions on the upper plate 110 and/or lower plate 112 may vary in certain embodiments of an expandable intervertebral implant 100, 200, 300. In the illustrated embodiment of Figures 1A-3D, the teeth 330 each point towards the proximal end 170. Of course, those of skill in the art recognize that other positions, patterns, placement and spacing of the plurality of teeth 330 and/or the plurality of grooves 340 may be used with the expandable intervertebral implant disclosed herein.
