See full text

A system for inserting an implant into a bone comprises a base, a first arm coupled to and extending away from the base in a first direction, a distal end of the first arm configured to removably attach to an implant so that the base is in a desired orientation relative thereto. The system also comprises a second arm extending away from the base in alignment with a target structure of the implant and including a first aiming hole through which the target structure is to be accessed. The system also comprises a protection sleeve and a first aiming hole configured such that, in a first orientation, the protection sleeve is frictionally locked within the first aiming hole and, when rotated therewithin to a second configuration, the protection sleeve is free to move therethrough.
