Abstract:
An instrument for spinal rotation that aligns and holds direct vertebral rotation (DVR) lever arms relative to each other to achieve an initial axial alignment of a segment of vertebrae and allows the final DVR rotation by rotating the instrument and lever arms together. A method of direct vertebral rotation that allows rotating the vertebrae to be aligned relative to each other, and collectively rotating the vertebrae to be aligned relative to adjacent spinal segments by rotating the direct vertebral rotation instrument. A system for direct vertebral rotation having at least two pedicle screws. The system also includes at least two levers attachable to the pedicle screws and a clamping instrument configured to clamp the levers.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the clamping instrument includes a hinge connecting the first member and the second member, the first and second members being rotatable relative to one another about the hinge, wherein the clamping instrument includes a lock configured to latch the first and second members together in the closed position such that relative movement between the first and second members is restrained, and wherein the lock is positioned at an opposite end of the first and second members from the hinge.
