Abstract:
An intervertebral expandable implant with first and second vertebral body engagement surfaces includes first and second implant structures defining first and second angled wedge portions. The first angled wedge portion has first and second inwardly-facing rails and first and second inwardly-facing slots. The second angled wedge portion has first and second outwardly-facing rails and first and second outwardly facing slots. The first implant structure is slidably-engaged with the second implant structure with the first inwardly-facing rail positioned in the first outwardly-facing slot, the second inwardly-facing rail positioned in the second outwardly facing slot, the first outwardly-facing rail positioned in the first inwardly-facing slot, and the second outwardly-facing rail positioned in the second inwardly-facing slot.

Claim (Index 11):
An intervertebral expandable implant having an inferior surface for engaging an inferior vertebral body and a superior surface for engaging a superior vertebral body, wherein the superior surface is positioned opposite of the inferior surface, the intervertebral expandable implant comprising:\n a first implant structure defining the inferior surface and a first angled wedge portion that is angled with respect to the inferior surface, wherein the first angled wedge portion comprises a first inwardly-facing rail and a second inwardly-facing rail, wherein a first inwardly-facing slot is defined at a location adjacent the first inwardly-facing rail between the first inwardly-facing rail and the inferior surface, wherein a second inwardly-facing slot is defined at a location adjacent the second inwardly-facing rail between the second inwardly-facing rail and the inferior surface, wherein the first implant structure defines first and second opposing side surfaces positioned on opposite sides of the inferior surface, wherein the first implant structure defines at least first, second, and third openings with the first opening extending through the inferior surface of the first implant and the second and third openings extending through the first and second side surfaces; and a second implant structure defining a second angled wedge portion that comprises a first outwardly-facing rail and a second outwardly-facing rail that faces outwardly in a direction opposite that of the first outwardly-facing rail, wherein a first outwardly-facing slot is defined at a location adjacent the first outwardly-facing rail, wherein a second outwardly-facing slot is defined at a location adjacent the second outwardly-facing rail, wherein the first implant structure is slidably-engaged with the second implant structure such that the first angled wedge portion engages the second angled wedge portion with the first inwardly-facing rail of the first implant structure positioned in the first outwardly-facing slot of the second implant structure, the second inwardly-facing rail of the first implant structure positioned in the second outwardly facing slot of the second implant structure, the first outwardly-facing rail of the second implant structure positioned in the first inwardly-facing slot of the first implant structure, and the second outwardly-facing rail of the second implant structure positioned in the second inwardly-facing slot of the first implant structure.
