Claim 0:
1. An expandable intervertebral body fusion device system, comprising:
a unitary monolithic body, the body having a plurality of body segments connected to each other with flexure members and an opening defined between the plurality of body segments, including—
an anterior body segment and an opposing posterior body segment defining a maximum anterior to posterior width of the body;
one or more mediolateral body segments extending between the anterior body segment and the posterior body segment along both a lateral side and a medial side of the anterior body segment and the posterior body segment, the one or more mediolateral body segments defining a maximum mediolateral width of the body;

a threaded opening formed in at least one of the anterior body segment and the posterior body segment; and
wherein the body is configured to be mediolaterally expanded from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration by interaction of an expansion tool with the threaded opening causing the one or more mediolateral body segments on the lateral side and the one or more mediolateral body segments on the medial side to generally move away from each other and expand the opening between the plurality of body segments such that the body forms a greater mediolateral footprint in the expanded configuration than in the compressed configuration, and
further comprising a stabilizing element extending between the anterior body segment and the posterior body segment that limits an amount that the body can be expanded to a predetermined amount.
