A customizable vertebral replacement assembly system and methods of using such a system to perform spinal fusions are described. The assembly generally includes a wall that encloses a hollow central core, a plurality of openings arranged in the wall that extend from the exterior or the assembly to the interior of the central core, and at least one stacking armature. The openings disposed in the surface of the wall both allow for the easy trimming and adjustment of the size and shape of the assembly and for bone to grow into the assembly once the spacer is installed in the body, which can help to secure the assembly in place, while the stacking armature allows for the facile interconnection of multiple assemblies.
