Abstract: The present application is directed to a surgical devices and methods to measure vertebral members for a vertebral plate. The device may include a handle with a first arm and a second arm. A trial plate may be attached to the handle. The trial plate may include a first trial plate section operatively connected to the first arm and a second trial plate section operatively connected to the second arm. Each of the first and second trial plate sections may include a distal side to contact against an outer side of the vertebral members. A scale may be operatively connected to the first and second trial plate sections and may include measurement indicia. The first and second arms may be movable to adjust a distance between the first and second sections and expose the measurement indicia to determine a size of the vertebral plate.
