Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The method includes deploying the fixation member which may further include: confirming an orientation of a cross fixation insertion axis coaxial with the guide member by way of a temporary fastener passed through a pin sleeve positioned within a drill sleeve which is positioned within a fixation member sleeve which is positioned within a passage of the guide member of the guide, drilling a hole into one of the first bone portion and the second abutting bone portion by way of a bit within the drill sleeve, and deploying the fixation member into the hole by way of a driver connected to the fixation member within the fixation member sleeve.

The method also includes coupling a guide to the bone fastener, the guide having: a body having a proximal end and a distal end; a guide member coupled to the body near the proximal end, the guide member configured to guide placement of a fixation member to secure the bone fastener; and an engagement member coupled to the body near the distal end, the engagement member engageable with the bone fastener about an engagement axis at a plurality of relative orientations, the engagement member configured to secure the guide member at one of the plurality of relative orientations about the engagement axis. The method also includes rotating the guide about the engagement axis to a desired orientation; securing guide member at the desired orientation and deploying the fixation member to stabilize the bone fastener.

One general aspect of the present disclosure can include a method of stabilizing a bone fastener that traverses a first bone portion and a second abutting bone portion. The method may include deploying a bone fastener within a first bone portion and a second abutting bone portion. The bone fastener may include an insertion axis; a body having an aperture having an aperture length and an aperture width, the aperture length being greater than the aperture width; a first leg connected to the body; and a second leg connected to the body.

The system may also include an inserter configured to connect to both the bone fastener and the guide. In addition, the first sleeve may be sized to accept the fixation member and a driver coupled to the fixation member; the second sleeve may be sized to accept a drill bit; and the third sleeve may be sized to accept a temporary fastener. The guide member may include a pivot member configured to orient the cross fixation insertion axis from a perpendicular orientation in relation to the engagement axis to one of a superior orientation and an inferior orientation. The pivot member may include a lock mechanism configured to secure the pivot member to retain an orientation of the cross fixation insertion axis in relation to the engagement axis.

Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The guide may include: a cross fixation insertion axis transverse to the engagement axis; a guide member coupled near a proximal end of the guide, the guide member may include: a passage through the guide member that aligns with the cross fixation insertion axis; a first sleeve coaxial with the cross fixation insertion axis and having a cross sectional diameter less than a cross sectional diameter of the passage; a second sleeve coaxial with the cross fixation insertion axis and having a cross sectional diameter less than a cross sectional diameter of the first sleeve; and a third sleeve coaxial with the cross fixation insertion axis and having a cross sectional diameter less than a cross sectional diameter of the second sleeve.

One general aspect of the present disclosure can include a system for deploying a fixation member for a bone fastener, the bone fastener may include: a first leg having a leading end and a trailing end; a second leg having a leading end and a trailing end; a body connected to the first leg and to the second leg; and an aperture through the body, the aperture having an aperture length and an aperture width, the aperture length greater than the aperture width. The system also includes a guide mountable to the bone fastener in a rotating relationship, the guide configured to securely position a fixation member at any of a plurality of relative orientations, in alignment with the aperture about an engagement axis.

The engagement member may include a pin extending from an inferior surface of the collar, the pin configured to engage a cavity of an inserter connected to the bone fastener. The engagement member may include a stop configured to limit the plurality of relative orientations about the engagement axis to a range of angles such that deployment of the fixation member will enter the aperture.
