A spinal plate system comprising:
- an interbody having an anterior surface, at least bore and at least one screw hole in the anterior surface;
- a plate body having a thickness between an anterior surface and a posterior surface;
- a plurality of screw holes extending from the anterior surface to the posterior surface;
- and
- a projection extending from the posterior surface, the projection positioned and sized so as to be releasably received by the bore in the interbody;
- wherein the projection is unthreaded and configured to be press-fit into the bore of the interbody so as to require a force to remove the projection from the bore;
- wherein the projection allows the plate body to pivot relative to the interbody while the projection remains press-fit in the bore.
