Paragraph Number

162

The bone probe 216 may include a plurality of tap threads on the external surface of the bone probe 216. The tap threads can be configured to cut internal threads into bone such that rotation of the bone probe 216 can form internal threads in the bone. In this manner, a surgeon may rotate the bone probe 216 either manually or with a powered driver to form internal threads for a fixation device, such as a pedicle screw.
