Abstract

There is provided an orthopedic plate and port structures for the plate. The plate (16, 30, 130, 230, 330, 430) can be non-rigid and includes at least one hole (34, 35, 434, 435, 436) for receiving an anchor (18) or an anchor retaining device (20, 50, 50´, 450). The at least one hole (34, 35, 434, 435, 436) can include a rigid port structure (44, 45, 132, 133, 232, 233, 332, 333, 410) that prevents or resists deformation of the plate (16, 30, 130, 230, 330, 430) when the anchor (18) or anchor retaining device (20, 50, 50´, 450) is engaged thereto.
