In one embodiment, the guide member 2016 includes a passage through the guide member 2016 defining the cross fixation insertion axis 420 and one or more sleeves 2008a,b received in the passage in axial sliding relationship. In one embodiment, a passage of the guide member 2016 is sized to accept one or more sleeves 2008. Each sleeve 2008 may include an axial through passage having a cross-sectional diameter sized to permit the sleeve 2008 to slide axially within the passage. In the illustrated embodiment, the sleeves 2008a,b may each have different cross-sectional diameters that permit certain ones of the one or more sleeves 2008a,b to fit within each other in a nested configuration such that a longitudinal axis of the sleeves 2008a,b aligns with the fixation insertion axis 420.
