Abstract
A bone (e.g., spine) fixation plate with one or more wire members is provided. In some embodiments, each wire member spans across a top surface of the bone fixation plate in a direction generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the plate. The wire member may flex (e.g., elastically) between a first position in which the wire member permits advancement of the bone anchor (e.g., screw) past the member, partially through the plate, and into bone, and a second position in which the wire member resists back out of the bone anchor from the plate.
