An apparatus and method for orthopedic implant altering include a first member, having a rotatable slot, which is connected to a first lever that is supported and rotatable in a support member attached to a screw mechanism that connects to an anvil that translates rotational force from the first lever into an axial force to move the anvil. There are two or more upright posts attached to a movable table, where an orthopedic implant positioned between the anvil and the plurality of upright posts can be altered (cut or bent) by applying force through axial movement of the anvil. There is a second lever in a second member that is movable along a base plate and having a fixed slot and securing mechanism, wherein the orthopedic implant can also be selectively placed between the first slot and the second slot to apply an axial twist to the orthopedic implant.
