Abstract:
An expandable, adjustable inter-body fusion device is presented. The inter-body fusion device can have a first plate, a second plate, and an insert positioned substantially therebetween the first plate and the second plate. The first plate, the second plate, and the insert define an interior cavity. Rotation of the insert relative to the first and second plates increases or decreases the distance of the first plate with respect to the second plate, effectively expanding the inter-body fusion device and increasing the volume of the interior cavity. The angle between the first plate and the second plate is selectively adjustable.

Claim (Index 21):
An expandable inter-body fusion device for use in surgery comprising:\n a first plate having a first plate longitudinal axis, an upper bone contact surface and an opposed first plate inner surface; a second plate having a second plate longitudinal axis, a lower bone contact surface and an opposed second plate inner surface, wherein the second plate underlies at least a portion of the first plate such that an interior cavity is defined therebetween the first and second plates; and an insert positioned substantially therebetween the first plate and the second plate, wherein the insert has an insert longitudinal axis and comprises a first member and a second member spaced from the first member a predetermined distance, wherein the insert comprises a coupling shaft configured to couple the first member to a portion of the second member, wherein the first member and the second member are each independently rotatable about the insert longitudinal axis between a first insert position and a second insert position, and wherein rotation of at least one of the first member and the second member in a first direction cams a portion of the first plate away from the second plate, wherein the device is selectively adjustable about and between a first unexpanded position, in which the first member and the second member of the insert are in the first insert position and a second expanded position, in which at least one of the first member and the second member are in the second insert position, and wherein in the second expanded position, the interior cavity has a second cavity volume that is greater than a first cavity volume of the interior cavity in the first, unexpanded position.
