Abstract
An adjustable-height bone plate system that can be attached to a bony structure (e.g., the sacrum) is provided. The adjustable-height bone plate system affords height adjustment of a screw head portion to facilitate attachment of a receiver portion and a spinal rod at a proper, recommended, or desired height for secure interconnection of the spinal rod with a receiver of a pedicle screw assembly attached to an adjacent bony structure (e.g., L5 of the lumbar spine).
