The instant invention is a longitudinally adjustable corpectomy device which fits within the intervertebral distracted channel. The device employs a base member constructed to receive an expansion member, the base member having an engagement surface formed on a back wall. The base member further includes a rack formed along an outer surface of the lower section and a reciprocal engagement surface on a back wall. A gear member is rotatably secured to the base member to engage the rack of the expansion member wherein rotation of the gear member allows a raising or lowering of said expansion member. A lock fastener is operatively associated with the base member for use in coupling the reciprocal engagement surface to the engagement surface arresting movement of said expansion member in relation to the base member. An upper endplate is angularly adjustable.
