An expandable bone device including a unitary body extending along a
longitudinal axis and including a deformable distal end portion having a
collapsed orientation for placement adjacent a spinal structure, the
deformable distal end portion including relatively wide, mutually
contiguous support surfaces outlined by relatively narrow cutouts, the
support surfaces being contiguous with the rest of the unitary body via
relatively narrow deformable splines, the deformable distal end portion
having an expanded orientation wherein the support surfaces are moved
transversely outwards away from and generally parallel to the
longitudinal axis, and an actuator coupled to the deformable distal end
portion and operative to cause movement of the deformable distal end
portion between the collapsed orientation and the expanded orientation.
