Claim 9:
10. 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—
a first end body segment and an opposing second end body segment defining a maximum end to end width of the body;
one or more side body segments extending between the first end body segment and the second end body segment along both a first side and a second side of the first end body segment and the second end body segment, the one or more side body segments defining a maximum side to side width of the body;

a threaded opening formed in at least one of the first end body segment and the second end body segment; and
wherein the body is configured to be expanded from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration by interaction of an expansion tool with the threaded opening causing the one or more side body segments on the first side and the one or more side body segments on the second side to generally move away from each other and expand the opening between the plurality of body segments, and
further comprising a stabilizing element extending between the first end body segment and the second end body segment that limits an amount that the body can be expanded to a predetermined amount.
