Abstract
A modular surgical tool that is used to insert instruments into the intervertebral disc space of a patient to measure the height of the intervertebral disc space, to prepare the intervertebral disc space for an implant, and to insert the implant into the intervertebral disc space using a plurality of interchangeable tool ends. Advantageously, this modular surgical tool permits multiple insertion angles.
