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 including a first surface that defines a cavity configured for disposal of a first implant support;
- a second surface being movable relative to the fulcrum and engageable with the support to fix the first surface with the support;
- and
- a third surface 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.
A surgical instrument comprising:
- a fulcrum including a first surface defining a cavity configured for disposal of a first implant support;
- an arm biased to engage the support and fix the first surface with the support, the arm being translatable relative to the support and engageable with a second implant support;
- and
- a lock that fixes the arm in position with the fulcrum.
A surgical system comprising:
- a first implant support;
- a second implant support;
- a fulcrum including a first surface that defines a cavity and a second surface being engageable with the first implant support to fix the first surface with the first implant support, a third surface being connected with the second surface such that the second surface is translatable relative to the first implant support and engageable with a second implant support;
- and
- pliers engageable with the supports to compress and/or distract tissue.
