EXPANDABLE AND CONFORMING SPINAL IMPLANT

Abstract: systems and methods of providing an expandable and conforming interbody implant are described. according to some implementations, an interbody implant includes a first surface configured to be disposed adjacent to a first bony endplate, and a second surface configured to be disposed adjacent to a second body endplate, with a height of the interbody implant extending between the first surface and the second surface. according to some implementations, the interbody implant is configured to be selectively disposed in an insertion configuration and a deployed configuration. in some cases, the height of the interbody implant is greater in the deployed configuration than in the insertion configuration. moreover, in some cases, the first surface is configured to conform to a topology of the first bony endplate, and the second surface is configured to conform to a topology of the second bony endplate.
