Abstract:
A surgical instrument assembly includes a frame system, and a surgical tool engageable with the frame system. The frame system is adapted for providing a surgical tool attachment and articulation locus that is maintained during the course of a surgical procedure to direct a fixed and repeatable delivery path for introduction and manipulation of one or more surgical instruments and implants at a surgical site in or on the patient's anatomy. The delivery path can be substantially curvilinear along an arc that is defined by a radius of curvature and length defined by the surgical tool, and a predetermined range of articulation of the tool at the articulation locus.

Claim (Index 8):
A surgical instrument assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the surgical tool is selected from shims, osteotomes, tissue distractors, and inserters, and instruments for manipulation of one or more of bone screws, plates, interbody devices, and artificial discs, and wherein the surgical tool comprises one or more of an actuator selected from a ratchet or gear system comprising one or more rack and pinion components, a walking beam and plates drive system, and, a threaded rod with a shift for providing rotational force to alternately drive distal and proximal movement.
