Referring now to FIGs. 4A, 4B, and 5, examples of using the inserter 400 are described. With an expandable intervertebral implant 100 attached to the inserter 400, the knob 450 engages threads 550 of the inserter fork 430 such that the prongs 520 are retracted within the arm 414. In such a configuration, the legs 542 of the bias member 540 are biased against internal walls of the arm 414. A user can then take the inserter 400 by the handle 420 and position the expandable intervertebral implant between vertebral bodies for the procedure. Once, the expandable intervertebral implant 100 is positioned, a user can rotate the driver 440 which rotates the screw member 118 which expands the expandable intervertebral implant from a collapsed configuration to either a partially expanded configuration or a fully expanded configuration.
