#$%^&*AU2020200014A120200130.pdf#####ABSTRACT A device for stabilizing a spine of a patient's body is disclosed. The device comprises an expandable fusion implant adapted to be implanted into an intervertebral space between a first vertebral body and a second vertebral body of the spine. The implant includes a first vertebral engagement surface adapted to engage the first vertebral body and an opposing second vertebral engagement surface adapted to engage the second vertebral body. The implant is expandable to by increasing its width and height. The implant includes at least one extendable support element actuatable to drive the first vertebral engagement surface away from the second vertebral engagement surface in a superior/inferior dimension such that the height of the implant is increased. The at least one extendable support element is actuatable to drive the first vertebral engagement surface away from the second vertebral engagement surface independently of movement of the first portion in the lateral dimension. The at least one extendable support element is a permanently integral component of the implant that remains implanted in the intervertebral space with the implant. The implant is lockable in the expanded configuration so as to fix the positions and orientations of the first and second vertebral engagement. FIG. 53122A 122B .. x.-..
