Abstract

An orthopedic implant includes a first member that defines a longitudinal axis, a first wall and a second wall. The first wall defines at least a portion of a chamber. The second wall defines a first graft containment cavity. The chamber is separate from the first graft containment cavity. A second member defines a first wall disposed for sealed engagement with the first wall of the first member. The first wall of the second member defines at least a portion of the chamber. The second member is configured for movement along the longitudinal axis relative to the first member. Methods of use are disclosed.
