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 bony structure of each of the vertebrae. The holes are spaced in such a way that a first plurality of holes is positionable over a bony 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 bony 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 bony structure of a corresponding vertebra to fix the plate to the vertebra.
