The knob 450 is connected to the inserter body 410 and coupled to the inserter fork 430. In one embodiment, the inserter fork 430 is coupled to the knob 450 such that as the knob 450 is rotated about the longitudinal axis 460 in a first direction, the inserter fork 430 extends beyond a distal end of the arm 414 towards the extended position. Similarly, as the knob 450 is rotated about the longitudinal axis 460 in a second direction, the inserter fork 430 retracts within the arm 414 towards the retracted position. In one embodiment, the knob 450 can include a central opening with internal threads (not shown) that engage external threads (see FIG. 5) one an outside of the inserter fork 430.
