7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the secondary implant comprises a plurality of arms extending laterally from the ring, wherein the first anchor extends from a first arm of the plurality of arms, and wherein the second anchor extends from a second arm of the plurality of arms.
8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the primary implant comprises a head and a shank extending distally from the head, wherein the head of the primary implant is configured to be positioned radially within the ring of the secondary implant.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first anchor and the second anchor are integrally formed with one another.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the primary implant further comprises:
a body extending from a proximal end to a distal end; and
a plurality of engagement features extending from the body.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the body of the primary implant comprises a head and a shank extending distally from the head.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the shank of the primary implant comprises a smooth shank section proximal to the plurality of engagement features.
13 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
a first window positioned along the shank;
a second window positioned along the shank; and
a first passage extending through the shank between the first window and the second window.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the first anchor and the second anchor each comprise a passage extending therethrough.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the passage of the first anchor and the passage of the second anchor are each configured to align with the passage of the primary implant when the primary implant is coupled to the secondary implant.
16 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the primary implant comprises a plurality of truss elements.
17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the primary implant comprises a longitudinal interior channel configured to receive bone graft material.
18 . The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the inwardly facing beveled edge of the first anchor and the inwardly facing beveled edge of the second anchor have an internal beveled angle of between 20 degrees and 35 degrees, wherein the inwardly facing beveled edge of the first anchor extends at least 10% of a length of the first anchor, and wherein the inwardly facing beveled edge of the second anchor extends at least 10% of a length of the second anchor.
19 . A sacroiliac joint implant system, comprising:
a primary implant configured to be received in a sacroiliac joint of a patient; and
a secondary implant configured to couple with the primary implant, the secondary implant comprising:
a ring;
a plurality of arms extending laterally from the ring;
a first anchor extending from a first arm of the plurality of arms, wherein the first anchor is configured to be driven within a sacrum of a patient, the first anchor comprising a distal end having an inwardly facing beveled edge, the inwardly facing beveled edge of the first anchor extending distally to an outer face of the first anchor to form a sharp distal tip; and
a second anchor extending from a second arm of the plurality of arms, wherein the second anchor is configured to be driven within an ilium of the patient, the second anchor comprising a distal end having an inwardly facing beveled edge, the inwardly facing beveled edge of the second anchor extending distally to an outer face of the second anchor to form a sharp distal tip;
wherein the beveled edge of the first anchor and the beveled edge of the second anchor are shaped and positioned to cause compression between the sacrum and the ilium when the first anchor is driven into the sacrum and the second anchor is driven into the ilium,
wherein the primary implant comprises a head and a shank extending distally from the head, wherein a proximal end of the head of the primary implant is configured to be positioned radially within the ring of the secondary implant.
