Content
In certain embodiments, a surgeon may apply a driving force to the head 240 and the driving force may create a pedicle screw pilot hole in a vertebra of the patient. The surgeon may apply the driving force when the surgical device 200a is at a desired orientation angle. In this manner, the surgeon can create a pedicle screw pilot hole at the desired orientation angle. The pedicle screw pilot hole can establish a desired pedicle screw trajectory for subsequent deployment of the pedicle screw. "Pilot hole" refers to a hole, void, opening, channel, space, or passage that extends from one side of a structure into the structure. A pilot hole can serve as a guide for a fixation device subsequently placed into the pilot hole. A pilot hole can facilitate deployment of the fixation device within the structure.
