Claim:
1. A surgical instrument comprising: a body; a first member extending between a proximal end and a distal end; a second member extending between a proximal end connected with the body and a distal end; and a third member connected to the proximal end of the first member and the body to relatively axially translate the distal ends, the third member including a latch and a lock engageable with the latch, wherein the latch is disposable in a locking orientation such that the distal ends engage a spinal construct and rotatable to a non-locking orientation such that the lock disengages the latch and the latch is biased relative to the body such that the distal ends are disposed to disengage the spinal construct, the distal end of the first member being distal to the distal end of the second member when the latch is in the non-locking orientation and the locking orientation.
