Abstract
A cervical plate formed from an expandable clip that is drawn toward a plate by use of a draw screw coupled to a draw bar. The draw bar is placed in an aperture having engagement with an angular surface that operates in conjunction with a proximal and distal end of the clip, which engages a tab to cause expansion when the draw screw engages the draw bar across a plate.
