Abstract
An orthopedic device holder and related system and method are disclosed. The orthopedic device holder can include a body member, a cannulated plunger, and a resilient member. The body member can include a longitudinal main body and an extension portion. The cannulated plunger can be slidably mounted inside the body member and movable between a first position and a second position. The plunger can be configured such that in the second position, a plunger distal end extends past a main body distal end, and in the first position, the plunger distal end assumes a more proximal position. The resilient member can be positioned adjacent a plunger proximal end and can be configured to urge the plunger towards the second position. The extension portion of the body member can project distally from the main body distal end and can include a locking member, which can be configured to fit into a mating recess of an orthopedic device.
