Abstract
A modular retractor may include a first body portion that houses a distraction mechanism for opening and closing a first arm and a second arm. A first pivoting member may be coupled to a distal end of the first arm and a second pivoting member may be coupled to a distal end of the second arm, for example. A first pin receiving cannula may be coupled to the first pivoting member and a second pin receiving cannula may be coupled to the second pivoting member. The first and second pin receiving cannulas may receive a threaded pin therein and be independently inclinable. Various embodiments may include at least one quick connect coupler. During use, a first pin and a second pin may be secured to a first and second vertebrae for distracting and/or adjusting an angle of inclination of the first and second vertebrae.
