1. A bone implant comprising:

  • a coronal member formed of a relatively rigid coronal member material and defining an apical end surface;

    an apical member formed of a relatively rigid apical member material and defining a ledge, the apical member configured to adjustably engage the coronal member to define a space between the apical end surface and the ledge; and

    a porous member formed of a relatively flexible porous member material that is at least partially porous, the porous member being removably positionable between the apical end surface of the coronal member and the ledge of the apical member, such that adjusting the coronal member and the apical member toward each other longitudinally compresses the porous member and expands the porous member generally radially outward.
