Content
The present disclosure discloses an expandable intervertebral implant. Medical procedures for using expandable intervertebral implants favor an expandable intervertebral implant that is small and compact. For example, minimally invasive or invasive surgery on the spine, such as spinal fusion, may be use a variety of approaches to access the spine, examples include Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF), Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF), or Lateral Interbody Fusion (LIF). For each of these spinal procedures, a smaller implant that can be expanded, as needed, to a desired height and/or width, is preferred because the smaller expandable intervertebral implants can cause less disruption of soft tissue and smaller access openings can be used for the procedures.
