Paragraph Number

129

In embodiments in which the socket is in the inserter 806, the shaft 828 may pass through the opening in the body 814 and engage the socket which positions at least a portion of the body between the threads 834 and the shoulder 830. In one embodiment, to operate the lock mechanism 824 a user rotates the handle 826 such that the threads 834 advance distally into the socket. As the shaft 828 advances distally within the socket, the shoulder 830 of the handle 826 pinches the body 814 towards the bone fastener 804 (and/or inserter 806).
