Abstract

See full text

A hole forming device useful for creating holes with threads in bone is disclosed. The hole forming device may be formed from an inner shaft and outer sleeve extending distally from a handle. The inner shaft may include a pointed tip that may be used to initiate hole formation. Once the hole forming device has been partially inserted into a material, such as, but not limited, bone, the inner shaft may be removed without having to remove the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve remains in place in the material and may then be advanced to create threads within the hole. Screws and other appropriate devices may be secured in the threaded hole.
