An expandable spinal implant deployable between a collapsed position and an expanded position in a disc space between upper and lower vertebral bodies (V1, V2), the expandable spinal implant comprising: a frame comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, a frame proximal end having a proximal wall, and a frame distal end having a distal wall, the frame proximal end having a proximal end width, and the frame defining a central longitudinal axis, a distal aperture being defined in the distal wall coaxial with the central longitudinal axis; a plug movably disposed in the distal aperture; a first endplate pivotably engaged with the frame and configured to expand outward from the frame when the plug is moved in a distal direction relative to the frame, the first endplate including an upper surface, a first endplate proximal end, a first endplate distal end, a first endplate first lateral surface extending between the first endplate proximal end and the first endplate distal end, an opposing first endplate second lateral surface extending between the first endplate proximal end and the first endplate distal end, the first endplate first lateral surface including an anterior tip projecting from the first endplate distal end; and a second endplate pivotably engaged with the frame and configured to expand outward from the frame when the plug is moved in a distal direction relative to the frame, the second endplate including a lower surface, a second endplate proximal end, a second endplate distal end, a second endplate first lateral surface extending between the second endplate proximal end and the second endplate distal end, and an opposing second endplate second lateral surface extending between the second endplate proximal end and the second endplate distal end; the first endplate first lateral surface and the second endplate second lateral surface including an anterior portion projecting therefrom along a second axis transverse to the central longitudinal axis, the anterior portion extending to the anterior tip; wherein when the implant is in the collapsed position, the anterior portion and the anterior tip define a distal end hooked portion. a frame comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, a frame proximal end having a proximal wall, and a frame distal end having a distal wall, the frame proximal end having a proximal end width, and the frame defining a central longitudinal axis, a distal aperture being defined in the distal wall coaxial with the central longitudinal axis; a plug movably disposed in the distal aperture; a first endplate pivotably engaged with the frame and configured to expand outward from the frame when the plug is moved in a distal direction relative to the frame, the first endplate including an upper surface, a first endplate proximal end, a first endplate distal end, a first endplate first lateral surface extending between the first endplate proximal end and the first endplate distal end, an opposing first endplate second lateral surface extending between the first endplate proximal end and the first endplate distal end, the first endplate first lateral surface including an anterior tip projecting from the first endplate distal end; and a second endplate pivotably engaged with the frame and configured to expand outward from the frame when the plug is moved in a distal direction relative to the frame, the second endplate including a lower surface, a second endplate proximal end, a second endplate distal end, a second endplate first lateral surface extending between the second endplate proximal end and the second endplate distal end, and an opposing second endplate second lateral surface extending between the second endplate proximal end and the second endplate distal end; the first endplate first lateral surface and the second endplate second lateral surface including an anterior portion projecting therefrom along a second axis transverse to the central longitudinal axis, the anterior portion extending to the anterior tip; wherein when the implant is in the collapsed position, the anterior portion and the anterior tip define a distal end hooked portion.
