Abstract

Surgical forceps have connecting members onto which working ends are attached in offset fashion, so that they can work together outside the plane of the forceps. One of the working ends is tubular and the other has an angled, U-shaped cross section which receives a portion of the tubular working end.
With the tubular working end slipped over a pedicle screw attached to a vertebrae and the other end attached to a support rod, the vertebra can be brought to the support simply and expeditiously.
