A spinal buttress plate includes a body having a top surface and a bottom surface and including an annular lip, a ledge, and a pair of teeth. The annular lip defines an opening. The annular lip and the opening are adapted to engage a screw for facilitating the securement of the buttress plate to one or more vertebrae. The ledge defines an aperture. The ledge and aperture are adapted to engage an instrument for positioning the buttress plate adjacent a spinal bone graft. The teeth are disposed in spaced-apart relation on the bottom surface of the body and are positionable within the one or more vertebrae.
