ABSTRACT:
An occipital plating system includes a plate extending along a longitudinal axis. The plate is engageable to the occiput, and includes at least one coupling member laterally offset relative to the longitudinal axis of the plate. The coupling member extends along a portion of the length of the plate. The at least one coupling member includes a passage to receive a connecting element. The coupling member is structured to at least medially and laterally constrain a portion of a length of the connecting element positioned in the passage.
