Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of apparatuses and methods of an expandable fusion device are provided. In one embodiment, an intervertebral implant can be provided, having a first endplate having an upper surface and a lower surface, a second endplate having an upper surface and a lower surface. A first side wall extends from the first endplate and a second side wall extends from the second endplate and are configured to engage one another to provide a selective variable height between the first endplate and the second endplate. The first side wall and the second side wall form a substantially hollow portion substantially enclosed by the first endplate, second endplate and the side walls. The substantially hollow portion is configured to receive bone growth inducing material.

Claim (Index 15):
The intervertebral implant of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n one or more slots between the upper surface of the first endplate to the lower surface of the first endplate configured to allow fusion of bone growth inducing material within the intervertebral implant and a vertebral body above the first endplate; and one or more slots extending from the upper surface of the second endplate to the lower surface of the second endplate configured to allow fusion of bone growth inducing material within the intervertebral implant and a vertebral body below the second endplate.
