Claim 4:
5. A bodiless bone fusion device for insertion into a desired location comprising:
an extending mechanism including one or more extending blocks coupled with a positioning element such that movement of the positioning element causes the one or more extending blocks to move with respect to the positioning element;
a first plate;
a second plate, the first and second plates straddling the extending mechanism and coupled with the one or more extending blocks such that when the one or more extending blocks move with respect to the positioning element, the first and second plates move along a path with respect to each other between a retracted position in which the first and second plates are in contact with each other to an extended position in which the plates are spread apart from and do not contact each other, wherein the first and second plates are sized such that at least a portion of a perimeter of the first and second plates about the path align with an outermost perimeter of the device about the path, wherein the one or more extending blocks each comprise an angled surface between a left side and a right side, wherein the left sides of the one or more extending blocks are aligned with left faces of the first plate and the second plate and the right sides of the one or more extending blocks are aligned with right faces of the first plate and the second plate; and
a lock having a body that contacts the positioning element to physically bias the movement of the positioning element into one of a plurality of positions.
