1. An intervertebral scaffolding system, comprising;

  • a laterovertically-expanding frame configured to create an intervertebral scaffolding system in vivo, the frame havinga first top beam, a second top beam, a first bottom beam, and a second bottom beam, wherein the beams are in an at least substantially parallel arrangement with each other;

    a plurality of top connector elements configured to expandably connect the first top beam to the second top beam;

    a plurality of bottom connector elements configured to expandably connect the first bottom beam to the second bottom beam;

    a top tensioner operably attaching the first top beam to the second top beam;

    a bottom tensioner operably attaching the first bottom beam to the second bottom beam; and

    ,a stabilizer that slidably engages with the first top beam, the first bottom beam, the second top beam, the second bottom beam, or a combination thereof, and is configured for retaining the first top beam, the first bottom beam, the second top beam, the second bottom beam, or the combination thereof, from a lateral movement that exceeds the expanded state.
