Paragraph Number

92

In one embodiment, an amount of expansion provided by the expansion mechanism 160, such as the screw member 400, may be determined, at least in part, by a cross-sectional diameter of the screw member 400. The greater the cross-sectional diameter of the screw member 400, the greater the amount of expansion. Furthermore, the direction(s) of expansion may depend on the embodiment of the expandable intervertebral implant used.
