Content
In one embodiment, insertion of the expansion mechanism 160 causes the expansion of one or more sides/walls of the expandable intervertebral implant. In another embodiment, the expansion mechanism 160 may be integrated with, connected, or coupled to the expandable intervertebral implant such that activation of the expansion mechanism 160 causes the expansion of the expandable intervertebral implant. Similarly, de-activation, disengagement, or removal of the expansion mechanism 160 can cause contraction of the expandable intervertebral implant, transition of the expandable intervertebral implant towards a collapsed configuration. In yet another embodiment, lattices or meshes of the expandable intervertebral implant can be configured such that the expandable intervertebral implant retains an expanded configuration or partial expanded configuration in response to de-activation, disengagement, or removal of the expansion mechanism 160.
