Paragraph Number

65

The bone probe 216 can be structured to engage and remain in contact with cortical bone of a patient when the surgical device 200a is in use. In one embodiment, the bone probe 216 can be structured to engage and remain in stationary contact with cortical bone of a patient while a user orients the shaft 210 to a desired orientation. For example, in one embodiment, the bone probe 216 may include a point on one end that contacts and may press into cortical bone of a patient. "Stationary contact" refers to a form of contact between two structures in which during the contact the structures do not translate relative to each other. In certain embodiments, a surgeon may tap on the head 240 to ensure that the bone probe 216 engages and remains in stationary contact with cortical bone as the surgical device 200a is being used.
