  • Publication number: 20260076805
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are expandable interbodies with modular endplates. An expandable interbody has an outer column, an inner column threadedly coupled and translatable relative to the outer column along the longitudinal axis, and an expansion ring to adjust a body length of the expandable interbody. The expansion ring has a plurality of teeth, and the outer column has at least one arm for engaging a tooth of the plurality of teeth to lock the expansion ring. The inner column and/or outer column can include a connector for connection to a modular endplate that has a substantially hollow core. The modular endplate includes a plate with a set screw entrapped therein. The modular endplate has an aperture to receive the connector of the inner and/or outer column.

  • Publication number: 20260060813
    Abstract: In various aspects, an expandable implant for use in a surgical procedure includes a distal cage, a proximal cage mechanically connectable with the distal cage, a top expandable assembly, and a bottom expandable assembly. Each of the top and bottom expandable assemblies have a distal portion in communication with a surface of the distal cage and a proximal portion in communication with a surface of the proximal cage. The expandable implant is expandable firstly in a medial-lateral direction, secondly in a lordotic (e.g., angular) direction, and thirdly a cranial-caudal direction. Additionally, the expandable implant may be diagonally symmetrical about a longitudinal axis of the expandable implant.
