Claim 0:
1. An implant for effecting a fusion of an SI joint, the implant including:
(a) a base member having a base member longitudinal axis extending parallel to an implant width axis and perpendicular to an implant longitudinal axis;
(b) a first side member extending along a first side longitudinal axis;
(c) a second side member extending along a second side longitudinal axis wherein the base member, the first side member, and the second side member are connected together and lie in an implant plane defined by the implant width axis and the implant longitudinal axis;
(d) an internal support structure connected to the base member, the first side member, and the second side member, the internal support structure including a first component and a second component, the first component extending from the base member to the first side member and the second component extending from the base member to the second side member; and
(e) a fusion passage defined in an area between the first side member, second side member, and base member, the fusion passage extending along a thickness axis perpendicular to the implant plane and defining a respective open area through the implant.
