Content
The fixation member may be inserted into or through the aperture 118 at an included angle between the longitudinal axis of the fixation member and the aperture length axis ranging from 90 degrees to a value corresponding to a projected length of the aperture along the fixation member longitudinal axis equal to or greater than the fixation member transverse dimension. In one embodiment, the angular stops limit the rotation of the guide to be within this range so it is guaranteed that the fixation member will fit through the aperture. In the illustrative example of FIGS. 19-22 the first and second angular positions are limited by abutment of the side surface 416 of the cross guide with the peripheral edge 326 of the inserter 300.
