In one embodiment, the expandable intervertebral implant 300 includes an upper plate 110 having an upper mesh 370 and a lower plate 120 having a lower mesh 380. Figure 5D illustrates that the upper mesh 370 spans the upper plate 110 from the first upper side 112 to the second upper side 114 and from the proximal end 170 to the distal end 180. Because the lower plate 120 is symmetrical to the upper plate 110, those of skill in the art will recognize that the lower mesh 380 of the expandable intervertebral implant 300 spans the lower plate 120 from the first lower side 122 to the second lower side 124 and from the proximal end 170 to the distal end 180.
