A surgical system comprising:
- an implant comprising:
- a first endplate;
- a second endplate;
- a first ramped body extending between the first endplate and the second endplate, wherein the first ramped body comprises at least one upwardly facing ramp engaging the first endplate and at least one downwardly facing ramp engaging the second endplate;
- and
- an actuator in engagement with the first ramped body, wherein rotation of the actuator causes translation of the first ramped body, thereby causing expansion of the implant;
