Abstract

Various implementations include an anterior cervical fixation plate for fixating portions of a cervical spine to facilitate bone fusion. The plate includes a first portion, a second portion, and a bridge. A first surface of the first portion and a first surface of the second portion each define two fastener openings extending from the first surface of the first portion to a second surface of the first portion. The first side and the second side of the centrally located bridge each extend from the second side of the first portion to the first side of the second portion. The second side of the first portion, the first side of the second portion, and the first side of the bridge define a first window. The second side of the first portion, the first side of the second portion, and the second side of the bridge define a second window.
