ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided that include a plate member engageable to the spinal column with an anchor assembly. The anchor assembly includes a coupling member having a post extending through at least one opening of the plate member and an anchor member pivotally captured in a receiver member of the coupling member below a lower surface of the plate member. A locking member secures the plate member to the coupling member. A crown in the receiver member of the coupling member is engaged by the plate member to secure the anchor member in position relative to the coupling member.
