Abstract
A surgical instrument comprises a fulcrum including a first surface that defines a cavity configured for disposal of a first implant support. A second surface is movable relative to the fulcrum and engageable with the support to fix the first surface with the support. A third surface is connected with the second surface such that the second surface is translatable relative to the support and the third surface is engageable with a second implant support. In some embodiments, spinal constructs, implants, systems and methods are disclosed.

A surgical instrument comprising:
- a fulcrum extending along an axis between opposite top and bottom walls, the fulcrum including opposite first and second side walls each extending from the top wall to the bottom wall, the fulcrum comprising opposite first and second end walls each extending from the top wall to the bottom wall and from the first side wall to the second side wall, the top and bottom walls defining a cavity extending parallel to the axis and configured for disposal of a first implant support, the fulcrum comprising a passageway extending perpendicular to the axis through the side walls, the first end wall defining a window, the window being in communication with the passageway and the cavity;
- and
- a slide having a first end positioned in the passageway and an opposite second end, the slide being movable relative to the fulcrum and engageable with the first implant support to fix the first implant support with the fulcrum, the second end being engageable with a second implant support.
A surgical instrument comprising:
- a fulcrum extending along an axis between opposite top and bottom walls, the fulcrum including opposite first and second side walls each extending from the top wall to the bottom wall, the fulcrum including first and second end walls each extending from the top wall to the bottom wall and from the first side wall to the second side wall, the top and bottom walls defining a cavity extending parallel to the axis and configured for disposal of a first implant support, the fulcrum comprising a passageway extending perpendicular to the axis through the side walls, the first end wall defining a window, the window being in communication with the passageway and the cavity;
- an arm positioned in the passageway and biased to engage the first implant support and fix the fulcrum with the first implant support, the arm being translatable relative to the first implant support and engageable with a second implant support;
- and
- a lock extending through the first end wall to fix the arm in position with the fulcrum.
