A posterior vertebral plating system comprising a plate and a plurality of attachment members. The plate has a plurality of holes extending through the plate from an upper surface to a lower surface, and the plate is configured to extend along the posterior side of at least two vertebrae adjacent at least one boney structure of each of the vertebrae. The holes are spaced in such a way that a first plurality of holes is positionable over a boney structure of a first vertebra to define a plurality of fixation points to the first vertebra and a second plurality of holes is positionable over boney structure of a second vertebra to define a plurality of fixation points to the second vertebra. The attachment members are insertable through the holes of the plate and into the boney structure of a corresponding vertebra to fix the plate to the vertebra.

The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 1, wherein the spacer portion has a width that is less than a width of the ring engaging portion and a width of the posterior engaging portion so as to define a notch along an inside edge of the plate. 3. The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 1, wherein the ring engaging portion has an arcuate profile such that the ring engaging portion substantially conforms to the contour of the posterior ring of the C1 vertebra. 4. The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 1, wherein the posterior engaging portion is configured to extend along and conform to at least one of a lamina, a lateral mass, and a combination of the lamina and the lateral mass of the C2 vertebra. 5. The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 1, wherein the posterior engaging portion is configured to extend along and conform to at least a portion of a lamina, a junction of the lamina and a spinous process, and the spinous process of the C2 vertebra. 6. The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 5, wherein the posterior engaging portion has a lamina portion and a spinous process portion which are angled relative to one another to define a junction portion. 7. The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 6, wherein the posterior engaging portion has at least one hole at the junction portion that is oriented in such a way as to permit translaminar screw placement when the posterior engaging portion is positioned on the lamina and spinous process of the C2 vertebra. 8. The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 1, wherein the posterior engaging portion includes a first lamina engaging portion extending from the second end of the spacer portion and a second lamina engaging portion extending from the second end of the spacer portion such that the first lamina engaging portion and the second lamina engaging portion cooperate to define a notch for receiving a spinous process of the C2 vertebra. 9. The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 8, wherein each of the first lamina engaging portion and the second lamina engaging portion has a flatter profile than the ring engaging portion so that the first lamina engaging portion and the second lamina engaging portion substantially conform to the contour of the laminae of the C2 vertebra. 10. The posterior vertebral plating system of claim 9, wherein each of the first lamina engaging portion and the second lamina engaging portion each has a width such that a plurality of holes are formed in the first lamina engaging portion and the second lamina engaging portion so that at least two holes are positionable over each of the lamina of the C2 vertebra. 11. A posterior vertebral plating system, comprising: a plate having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of holes extending through the plate from the upper surface to the lower surface, the plate being configured to extend along a posterior ring of a C1 vertebra to a posterior side of a C2 vertebra, the holes being spaced in such a way that a first plurality of holes is positionable over the posterior ring of the C1 vertebra to define a plurality of fixation points to the C1 vertebra and a second plurality of holes is positionable over the posterior side of the C2 vertebra to define a plurality of fixation points to the C2 vertebra; anda plurality of attachment members insertable through the holes of the plate and into the posterior ring of the C1 vertebra to the posterior side of the C2 vertebra to fix the plate to the vertebra,wherein the holes have a plurality of columns of threads spaced apart to define a plurality of non-threaded recesses, and wherein the plate further includes a flange extending between adjacent columns of threads of at least one hole near the lower surface of the plate in such a way that the flange impedes the attachment members from being driven entirely through the hole. 12. A posterior vertebral plating system, comprising: a first plate and a second plate wherein the second plate is a mirror image of the first plate, each of the first plate and the second plate having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of holes extending therethrough from the upper surface to the lower surface, each of the first plate and the second plate being configured to extend along a posterior ring of a C1 vertebra to a posterior side of a C2 vertebra, the holes being spaced in such a way that a first plurality of holes is positionable over the posterior ring of the C1 vertebra to define a plurality of fixation points to the C1 vertebra and a second plurality of holes is positionable over the posterior side of the C2 vertebra to define a plurality of fixation points to the C2 vertebra; anda plurality of attachment members insertable through the holes of the first plate and the second plate and into the posterior ring of the C1 vertebra to the posterior side of the C2 vertebra to fix the first plate and the second plate to the vertebra,wherein each of the first plate and the second plate comprises: a spacer portion having a first end and a second end and a longitudinal length generally corresponding to the distance between the posterior ring of the C1 vertebra and the lamina of the C2 vertebra;a ring engaging portion extending from the first end of the spacer portion and configured to extend along and conform to at least a portion of the posterior ring of the C1 vertebra; anda posterior engaging portion extending from the second end of the spacer portion and configured to extend along and conform to at least a portion of the posterior side of the C2 vertebra. 13.
