a body including a pin disposed outwardly therefrom;
a mount portion disposed at an end of said body, said mount portion adapted to couple to a surgical retractor system;
a fastener assembly disposed at another end of said body;
a first track arm disposed proximate, and further inward relative to, said fastener assembly; and
a second track arm disposed proximate, and further inward relative to, said mount portion;
