The various apparatus, devices, systems, and/or methods of the present disclosure have been developed in response to the present state of the art, and in particular, in response to the problems and needs in the art that have not yet been fully solved by currently available methods, implants, and/or instruments. One general aspect of the present disclosure can include a system for deploying a fixation member into an aperture of a bone fastener. The system may include a guide that may include a body having a proximal end and a distal end. The guide may also include a guide member coupled to the body near the proximal end, where the guide member is configured to guide placement of the fixation member to secure the bone fastener. The guide may also include an engagement member coupled to the body near the distal end, where the engagement member is configured to engage the bone fastener such that the guide member is rotatable, relative to the bone fastener, about an engagement axis to a plurality of relative orientations. The engagement member is configured to secure the guide member at any of the plurality of relative orientations about the engagement axis.
