Abstract

A surgical instrument comprises a first arm extending between a first end and a second end including a first pivot engageable with a first spinal construct disposed with a first vertebral surface. A second arm is connected with the first arm via a second pivot. The second arm extends between a first end and a second end including a third pivot engageable with a second spinal construct disposed with a second vertebral surface. The arms are relatively movable to rotate the first spinal construct relative to the first pivot and the second spinal construct relative to the third pivot such that the first vertebral surface is moved relative to the second vertebral surface. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.
