A cannulated bone screw including a threaded shaft, a head, and a longitudinal bore extending entirely through the threaded shaft and the head of the cannulated bone screw. In one exemplary embodiment, the exterior surface of the head of the cannulated bone screw may include an indentation formed therein. The indentation may be any shape, such as a semi-circular shape. The indentation may be configured to mate with a corresponding projection on the internal wall of a cannulated driver to rotationally lock the cannulated bone screw relative to the cannulated driver.
