Abstract
Plates are described for securement to an intervertebral implant, and for fixation to a vertebral body so as to stabilize the implant during the surgical procedure, and in particular as the patient is repositioned during the surgical procedure, for instance from from a lateral decubitus position to a prone position. The plate includes a securement member that is movable between an unlocked configuration whereby the securement member is positioned for insertion into the implant, and a locked configuration that couples the securement member to the intervertebral implant. The securement member is further movable to a secured position that secures the plate to the intervertebral implant as to to define a rigid construct.
