Thus, the fastener 1500 may include external threads 1502 and a drive feature 1504 (not shown) which may be structured and may function similarly to the external threads 1402 and drive feature 1404. The fastener 1500 may also include a shaft 1506 with bone threads 1508. The fastener 1500 can be used in a fastener opening 132, 414, 514, 618 and/or a connector opening 652. The bone threads 1508 may be configures and spaced relative to each other and have a pitch that facilitates purchase into the bone as the fastener 1500 is inserted.
