Abstract

See full text

Expandable fusion cages and methods associated therewith are disclosed. The present invention is generally directed to an apparatus and method for implanting an anterior installed intervertebral fusion cage system which can be selectively expanded between two adjacent vertebrae to cause them to change position relative to each other and produce a normal alignment of the spine, while promoting fusion of the vertebrae. Accordingly, the invention relates to an expandable fusion cage that may be inserted, in a reduced size configuration, into an intervertebral space and expanded after insertion to provide a desired size.
