An example expandable interbody device can include a structural body having an upper endplate and a lower endplate, where the endplates are shaped to nest tightly in a closed position. The device can include at least one wedge block and at least one linkage block arranged between the upper and lower endplates of the structural body. The device can include a drive screw threaded through the at least one wedge block and the at least one linkage block. The drive screw can be configured to rotate and drive the at least one wedge block to expand the upper and lower endplates of the structural body from the closed position to an intermediate position. Additionally, the drive screw can be further configured to rotate and drive the at least one linkage block to expand the upper and lower endplates of the structural body from the intermediate position to an open position.
