In Figure 6A, the geometric shapes 602 are hexagons. The geometric shapes 602 are formed by edges 604 that define pores or openings 606 in the pattern 600. The pores 606 facilitate expansion of the structure having the pattern. The pores 606 may facilitate bone growth through the expandable intervertebral implant as part of a recovery process once the expandable intervertebral implant is installed in a patient.
