A spacer device for spinal fixation, such as in corpectomies and discectomies, includes a core and two end plates mounted to the core. One end plate is mounted to each respective end of the core. The core can be configured and adapted to be adjustable to allow for contraction and/or distraction of the end plates. The end plates can include apertures therethrough to facilitate osseointegration of the spacer device within a patient's spine. The angle of the endplates can each be adjusted with respect to the core of the spacer device, for example to accommodate lordosis. A containment mesh is included around the spacer device, wrapping circumferentially around the end plates, and spanning from end plate to end plate. The containment mesh defines a containment volume between the end plates for containing bone replacement materials such as allograft or man-made materials.
