Referring to FIGS. 40-47, a guide 802 is engageable with the inserter 806 to guide placement of an elongate member (e.g., fixation member 812) into, or through, the aperture 118 of the fastener 804. The guide 802 is coupled to the inserter 806 by inserting the pin 836 into the socket 880 until the inferior surface 838 abuts the superior surface 882 of the inserter handle portion 860 as shown in FIG. 47. Thus assembled, the cross fixation insertion axis 420 is aligned with the center of the fastener aperture 118. Insertion of a fixation member allow fixation axis 420 will enter the aperture 118. In addition, in an exemplary embodiment, the inserter 806 is positioned between the engagement member 818 and the fastener 804.
