Surgical tools and methods of their use are provided. A surgical tool includes first and second working members, first and second handle arms, a handle post having first and second ends, the second end confronting the second handle arm, and a ratchet coupled to one of the first and second handle arms and engageable with the other of the first and second handle arms. Movement of the first handle arm with respect to the second handle arm causes movement of the first working member with respect to the second working member. A force applied to the handle post causes the first working member to move in a first direction with respect to the second working member. The ratchet is configured to temporarily prevent the first and second working members from moving with respect to one another.

Distraction and compression in one plier

A device for assisting in the positioning and sizing of an implant includes an elongate member and a block. The elongate member has length indicia at axial locations along a length for measuring a first distance from a predetermined datum of the elongate member. The block is attached to and movable along the elongate member. The block includes width indicia for measuring a second distance in a direction transverse to the first distance. A method for assisting in the positioning and sizing of an implant includes moving the elongate member along the block to axial locations along such member to determine an appropriate width and depth of insertion of the implant.
