Abstract:
Systems and method of using a surgical driver instrument are provided. The driver instrument includes a driver shank having a proximal end including a head connector for a bone construct. The instrument includes an inner sleeve having a length and configured to receive the driver shank therein and a handle member having a first end and a second end. The inner sleeve and the driver shank have a non-threaded connection. The instrument includes an outer sleeve connected to the second end and concentric with the inner sleeve and a sleeve actuator assembly coupled to the handle member. The sleeve actuator assembly includes a first position where a portion of the length of the inner sleeve extends out from the handle member and a second position where the portion of the length of the inner sleeve that is extended from the handle member is retracted into the handle member.
