1. A spinal implant for placement in an intervertebral space between a first vertebral body and a second vertebral body of a spine, the spinal implant comprising:

  • a body having a first surface for contacting the first vertebral body;

    a first extendable support element connected to the body at a first location, the first extendable support element being configured to expand so as to apply a first expansion force directed away from the first surface;

    a second extendable support element connected to the body at a second location, the second extendable support element being configured to expand so as to apply a second expansion force directed away from the first surface; and

    an input for expanding the first and second extendable support elements,wherein the spinal implant is configured such that application of a single input force to the spinal implant via the input induces the first extendable support element to expand and apply the first expansion force and induces the second extendable support element to expand and apply the second expansion force, wherein the first and second extendable support elements apply the first and second expansion forces simultaneously, the first expansion force being greater than the second expansion force.
