Expandable and conforming implant

An implant comprising:

• a first surface configured to be disposed adjacent to a first bony endplate;
• a second surface configured to be disposed adjacent to a second bony endplate;
• a first region extending between the first surface and the second surface;
• and
• a second region extending between the first surface and the second surface;
• wherein:
• the first region has a higher stiffness than the second region;
• and
• the second region is configured to be selectively disposed in an insertion configuration and a deployed configuration, and a height of the second region is greater in the deployed configuration than in the insertion configuration.

An implant comprising:

• a first surface configured to be disposed adjacent to a first bony endplate;
• a second surface configured to be disposed adjacent to a second bony endplate;
• and
• an expanding region configured to be deployed from an insertion configuration with a first height to a deployed configuration with a second height, the second height being greater than the first height,
• wherein the expanding region is configured to expand different amounts across an area thereof, thereby conforming to a topology of at least one of the first bony endplate and the second bony endplate.
