A plate guide including a body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a projection extending therefrom. The projection may be configured to be received within an aperture in a bone plate. In one exemplary embodiment, the aperture in the bone plate is a bone screw receiving aperture. In another exemplary embodiment, the projection includes a resiliently deformable finger. The resiliently deformable finger may provide a friction fit with the aperture in the bone plate to secure the plate guide in a substantially fixed position relative to the bone plate.
