Referring now to Figures 5A and 5B together, operation of the expandable intervertebral implant 300 is described. During a surgical procedure, a surgeon may install the expandable intervertebral implant 300 through a cannula for a MIS procedure or using another instrument for an invasive procedure. As the expandable intervertebral implant 300 is inserted into the body of the patient, the expandable intervertebral implant 300 is in a collapsed configuration. Once in the desired position, the driver 162 of the expansion mechanism 160 may be activated to transition the expandable intervertebral implant 300 from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration.
