A spinal implant comprising:
- a plate including a surface that defines a first cavity oriented to implant a multi-axial fastener with a sacrum and a second cavity oriented to implant a fastener with an ala of the sacrum.
A spinal implant comprising:
- a plate including a first wall having an outer surface being engageable with at least an S1 vertebra of a sacrum and an inner surface that defines an opening oriented to implant a multi-axial screw with the S1 vertebra, and
- the plate further including a second wall having an outer surface being engageable with at least an ala of the sacrum and an inner surface that defines an opening oriented to implant a nail with the ala.

- providing a plate including a surface that defines a first cavity and a second cavity;
- delivering the plate along a surgical pathway comprising a posterior mid-line surgical approach to a surgical site such that the first cavity is oriented with a sacrum and the second cavity is oriented with an ala of the sacrum;
- delivering a fastener along the surgical pathway and with the second cavity for fixation with the ala;
- and
