In certain embodiments, the handle 250 is coaxial with the shaft 210 and positioned between the bone probe 216 and the proximal end 212 of the shaft 210. Of course, the handle 250 may be positioned at other location on the surgical device 200a and/or other parts of a surgical device 200a may serve as a handle 250. As used herein, a "handle" refers to a structure used to hold, control, or manipulate a device, apparatus, component, tool, or the like. A “handle” may be designed to be grasped and/or held using one or two hands of a user. In the illustrated embodiment, the handle 250 may include a flange 252 at a distal end of the handle 250. The flange 252 may press against soft tissue of a patient and keep the soft tissue from contacting or surrounding the handle 250. In certain embodiments, the flange 252 may be conical in shape.
