1. A sacroiliac joint implant system for a sacroiliac joint, the sacroiliac joint implant system comprising:
at least a pair of pedicle screws mounted on opposite sides of the sacroiliac joint;
a rod extending across the sacroiliac joint, wherein the rod is secured by the pair of pedicle screws; and
a sacroiliac joint implant having a porous body configured to promote bone growth and fuse the sacrum and ilium of the sacroiliac joint together, the porous body having:
a first face configured to contact the sacrum of the sacroiliac joint when the implant is compressed within the sacroiliac joint,
a second face configured to contact the ilium of the sacroiliac joint when the implant is compressed within the sacroiliac joint, and
at least one rail projecting outward from one of the first and the second faces and extending from a top edge to a bottom edge of the porous body configured to remove at least one degree of freedom of movement of the implant;

wherein the pedicle screws and the lateral rod are configured to apply compression to the sacroiliac joint in a direction generally perpendicular to the first face and the second face of the sacroiliac joint implant and maintain the sacroiliac joint in a compressed state and inhibit movement of the implant; and
wherein the sacroiliac joint implant is unattached to the rod and screws.
