Paragraph Number

62

In certain embodiments, the expandable intervertebral implant 100 and its components can be made from the same material. Alternatively, or in addition, the upper plate 110, lower plate 120, first lattice 130, and second lattice 140 can be made from different materials. For example, the first lattice 130 and second lattice 140 can be made from a material having a different plasticity than the upper plate 110 and/or lower plate 120. In one embodiment, the first lattice 130 and second lattice 140 can be made from a material having a common plasticity such that first lattice 130 and second lattice 140 deform together under and expansion force created by the expansion mechanism 160.
