Zusammenfassung:An anterior cervical plate system is provided. The plate is configured to receive bone screws for attachment to and immobilization of adjacent vertebrae of the spine. The system includes a cup retained inside a through hole of the plate by a cup retainer. A bone screw is retained inside the cup by a lock that is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position.
