Spacer with height and angle adjustments for spacing vertebral members

A device to space vertebral members comprising:

• a deploying device comprising:
• a first member with an elongated first shaft and a first body at an end of the first shaft;
• a second member with an elongated second shaft that extends around the first shaft and a second body at an end of the second shaft;
• a third member with an elongated third shaft that extends around the second shaft and a third body at an end of the third shaft;
• the shafts being nested together with the first shaft positioned within an interior of the third shaft;
• the first shaft having a length relative to the third shaft to be positioned in proximity to a proximal end of the third shaft away from the third body when the device is in a closed orientation;
• a first plate positioned on a first side of the deploying device;
• a second plate positioned on a second side of the deploying device;
• first, second, and third jointed linkages spaced apart along the deploying device and each comprising a pair of links and each having a first end attached to the first plate, a second end attached to the second plate, and an intermediate joint connecting the pair of links together and being attached to the deploying device, the intermediate joint of the first jointed linkage being attached to the first body, the intermediate joint of the second jointed linkage being attached to the first body and the second body, and the intermediate joint of the third jointed linkage being attached to the third body;
• the first, second, and third members being nested together with the first member axially movable relative to the second member to adjust a height measured between the first and second plates, and the second member axially movable relative to the third member to adjust an angular orientation of the first and second plates.

A device to space vertebral members comprising:

• a first member with an elongated first shaft and a first connector at an end of the first shaft;
• a second member with an elongated second shaft that telescopingly receives the first shaft and a second connector at an end of the second shaft, the second connector being nested with the first connector;
• a third member with an elongated third shaft that telescopingly receives the second shaft and a third connector at an end of the second shaft, the third connector being nested with the second connector;
• a first plate positioned on a first side of the members;
• a second plate positioned on a second side of the members;
• a first jointed linkage attached to the first member, the first plate, and the second plate;
• a second jointed linkage attached to the second member, the first plate, and the second plate, the second jointed linkage positioned inward towards the shafts from the first jointed linkage;
• a third jointed linkage attached to the third member, the first plate, and the second plate, the third jointed linkage positioned inward towards the shafts from the second jointed linkage;
• the members being axially movable relative to each other along a longitudinal axis to adjust the first and second plates between a closed orientation and an open orientation;
• the shafts being nested together and the first shaft extends through a majority of the third shaft when in the closed orientation.
