1. A method of attaching a liquefiable material to an implant comprising the steps of:
positioning the liquefiable material in a chamber through an opening of the chamber, the chamber being disposed in a cavity of the implant and defined by a first non-porous layer with a second porous layer disposed within the chamber; and
securing the liquefiable material to the implant by allowing the liquefiable material to interdigitate with the second layer in a liquid state and then solidify to prevent pullout of the liquefiable material from the implant.
