A device for facilitating bone fusion of two vertebrae. The device is
sized and shaped to at least extend between the two vertebrae to be
fused, and includes an outer wall member disposed about an inner portion.
A space between the outer wall member and the inner compartment is
adapted to contain an osteogenic bone fusion material. The inner portion
includes a compartment adapted to contain an inner fill material, such as
a bone cement or an in situ curable polymer. The inner portion may
operate as a structural member to maintain a desired amount of spacing
between the vertebrae to be fused, and to support the spinal column prior
to formation of the fused bone joint. The device is also configured to
locate the osteogenic material away from the centers of the vertebrae to
be fused, providing a fused joint with high bending and torsional
rigidity.
