Abstract
An apparatus is provided for supporting a surgical component adjacent to a bone during a surgical procedure. The apparatus includes an integral body having a hinge platform, a hinge integral with the hinge platform; and a surgical component mounting portion integral with the hinge for rotation generally about a hinge axis relative to the hinge platform. An adjustment mechanism is operably connected between the hinge platform and the surgical component mounting portion to allow selective incremental rotation of the surgical component mounting portion relative to the hinge platform.
