Abstract
A spinal implant formed from a hinged distractor having an upper and lower support body that is hinged by use of pinions. An insert body is constructed and arranged to slide between the section to expand the height and to maintain a space therebetween. The insert body may include a leading edge that is tapered to allow ease of insertion. A trailing edge of the insert body includes a pin to allow ease of insertion along a curvature path.
