Similarly, an expandable intervertebral implant having fewer parts may be fabricated with smaller dimensions in a collapsed configuration. A smaller expandable intervertebral implant can enable MIS surgery techniques that use a narrower incision and/or narrower cannulas to perform the procedure. A smaller expandable intervertebral implant can facilitate positioning and placement of the implant. In certain circumstances two or more expandable intervertebral implants may be used to provide desired support for vertebral bodies.
