A medical device, comprising:
- a first end having a first aperture, a first biasing member, a second aperture, and a second biasing member;
- each of the first aperture and the second aperture to receive a portion of a bone component;
- the first biasing member including a spring-loaded locking cam having a lever arm portion and a body portion, the lever arm portion to cause the body portion to pivot between a first position, with the body portion enclosing the first aperture to fix the bone component within the first aperture, and a second position, with the body portion disposed apart from the first aperture to allow removal of the bone component from the first aperture;
- a second end having a handle to apply force to the bone component;
- and
- the handle including a torque reduction mechanism, the torque reduction mechanism including:
- a fastener;
- and
- a pin coupled to the fastener, the pin to engage with the handle.
