Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an insertion tool and a guide system to be used to insert bone fasteners and implant devices into a surgical site. SOLUTION: An insertion tool includes a curved fastener guide for allowing a user to safely insert bone fasteners and associated tools at the surgical site for securing an implant device to a bone body. The insertion tool has an elongate cannula and an attachment shaft coupled to the distal end of the fastener guide. The attachment shaft can be docked to an implant device and the insertion tool can be used to locate the implant device at the surgical site. The fastener guide can be aligned with fastener holes in the implant device for accurate placement of the bone fasteners. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
