A system for use during surgical procedures. The system includes an implant and an inserter. The implant has a faceted post that rotates, ribs adapted to receive impact from an instrument to help position the implant, and stops. The inserter has a sleeve, into and from which a hook retracts and extends and on which a tab is disposed, and a pair of catches. The hook and tab combine to lock the post into position and to release the post so that the post can rotate. The engagements between the hook and the post and between the tab and the post permit rotation of the implant in situ. The stops and catches define an articulation range for the implant relative to a longitudinal axis of the inserter. A related method of using the system is also provided.
