Paragraph Number

4

To achieve the foregoing, and in accordance with the disclosure as embodied and broadly described herein, an expandable intervertebral implant may be provided. One general aspect of the expandable intervertebral implant can include an upper plate that may include a first upper side and a second upper side, a lower plate that may include a first lower side and a second lower side, a first lattice that connects the first upper side of the upper plate to the first lower side of the lower plate, 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 also include an expansion mechanism that may include 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.
