Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the shaft 1002 engages the bone fastener by way of threads 1014 that engage internal threads 1022 of a socket 1030 of the inserter 1008. Those of skill in the art will appreciate a variety of features, structures, and implementations may be used for the shaft 1002 to engage the bone fastener. For example, a pin extending laterally near the distal end 1012 may slide vertically along a channel along a wall of the socket 1030 and then seat within a horizontal section of the channel to compress the protrusion 1006 against at least a portion of the collar 1004. In certain embodiments, the inserter 1008 may include a coupling member 1032 near its proximal end. The coupling member 1032 may include the socket 1030.
