Abstract
An apparatus includes a spacer and an actuator. The spacer has a first spacer member configured to engage an endplate of a first vertebra and a second spacer member configured to engage an endplate of a second vertebra. The actuator has a first actuator member and a second actuator member coupled to the first actuator member. Each of the first actuator member and the second actuator member is matingly and movably coupled to the first spacer member and the second spacer member. The actuator is configured to move the spacer between a first configuration and a second configuration. The first spacer member is in contact with the second spacer member when the spacer is in the first configuration.
