View Edit Delete	FLO-2	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.	179	Added by DJM 2 2021	2/18/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	FLO-2	4. The expandable intervertebral implant of Claim 3, wherein the cross-sectional diameter of the screw member is greater than a width of the opening.	140	Added by DJM 2 2021	2/18/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	FLO-2	Referring generally to Figures 6A-6F and 7A-7C, those of skill in the art recognize that the pattern used in the mesh or lattices of the present disclosure can be of any shape, design or pattern. The examples disclosed herein, are examples of a few of the possible patterns that can be used. In addition, the mesh and/or lattices that include a pattern can be made from the same material as other structures of the expandable intervertebral implant. For example, each of these structures can be made from titanium or a titanium alloy. For example, in one embodiment, the upper plate 110, the lower plate 120, the first lattice 130, and the second lattice 140 can be made from titanium or a titanium alloy.	126	Added by DJM 2 2021	2/18/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	FLO-2	Alternatively, or in addition, meshes and/or lattices that include a pattern can be made from a different material as other structures of the expandable intervertebral implant. In certain embodiments, the pattern, the size of the pores in the pattern the positioning and distribution of geometric shapes or other designs that create the pattern and the thickness of edges 604 for the pattern can each be selected or designed to achieve a desired increase in distance between plates, walls, or lattices of an expandable intervertebral implant.	127	Added by DJM 2 2021	2/18/21, 12:00 AM
