An intervertebral spacer implant can include: a plurality of links, each link having a hole bored along an axis of said link and said hole of each link of said plurality of links aligns to form a channel bored through said plurality of links, wherein a first link of said plurality of links is pivotally engaged to a second link of said plurality of links. The implant can include an elongated member, such as a guide wire, adapted to retain said plurality of links, wherein said elongated member is configured to mate with each said hole of each link of said plurality of links.
