Abstract
An expandable implant includes: a first endplate, a second endplate, a first translating member moveably coupled to a first actuator, and a second translating member moveably coupled to a second actuator. The first translating member may be configured to move independently from the second translating member, and the first translating member and the second translating member may be configured to change a spatial relationship between the first endplate and the second endplate. The change in spatial relationship may change a resulting height, length, width, angle of lordosis, or other dimension of the expandable implant.
