An intervertebral implant includes an upper plate having an outer surface
and an inner surface, a lower plate having an outer surface and an inner
surface, and an intermediate plate having a first surface opposing the
inner surface of the upper plate and a second surface opposing the inner
surface of the lower plate. The implant includes a first flexible hinge
that couples the upper plate and the intermediate plate, and a second
flexible hinge that couples the intermediate plate and the lower plate,
the first flexible hinge extending along a first axis and the second
flexible hinge extending along a second axis that traverses the first
axis.
