Expandable and conforming spinal implant

A spinal implant comprising:

• an implant body;
• a first conforming region coupled to the implant body and configured to be disposed adjacent to a first natural endplate of a first spinal segment of a patient, wherein the first conforming region comprises:
• a first contact surface configured to contact at least a portion of the first natural endplate;
• and
• a first load-bearing region having a first stiffness;
• a second load-bearing region having a second stiffness that is greater than the first stiffness,
• wherein the first contact surface is coupled to the first load-bearing region such that a shape of the first contact surface is configured to conform to a shape of the first natural endplate.

A method of providing a spinal implant, the method comprising:

• obtaining a spinal implant comprising:
• an implant body;
• and
• a first conforming region coupled to the implant body and configured to be disposed adjacent to a first natural endplate of a first spinal segment of a patient, wherein the first conforming region comprises:
• a first contact surface configured to contact at least a portion of the first natural endplate;
• a first load-bearing region having a first stiffness;
• and
• a second load-bearing region having a second stiffness that is greater than the first stiffness,
• wherein the first contact surface is coupled to the first load-bearing region such that a shape of the first contact surface is configured to conform to a shape of the first natural endplate;
• and
• disposing the first contact surface of the first conforming region of the spinal implant adjacent to the first natural endplate of the first spinal segment of the patient in a manner that allows the shape of the first contact surface to conform to the shape of the first natural endplate.
