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 17):
An intervertebral implant, comprising:\n an upper endplate having a proximal end, a distal end, a first side and an opposing second side; a lower endplate having a proximal end, a distal end, a first side and an opposing second side; a first sidewall extending along a periphery of the first side, distal end and second side of the upper endplate towards the lower endplate; a second sidewall extending along a periphery of the first side, distal end and second side of the lower endplate towards the upper endplate; and an engagement mechanism for selective engagement of the first sidewall with the second sidewall configured to provide a selective distance between the upper endplate and the lower endplate; wherein the upper endplate, lower endplate, first sidewall and second sidewall partially enclose a substantially hollow portion configured to receive bone growth inducing material therein.
