摘要： A surgical technique can be performed utilizing a detachable driver-implant system and comparatively small surgical incision. The clinician can make an incision through the skin of the patient and retract the skin along the incision to expose a first bone region. The clinician can insert an implant into one or more bone portions using a detachable driver-implant system and then detach the driver, leaving the implant in the one or more bone portions. The clinician can reposition the skin of the patient at least partially over the end of the implant to expose a second bone region not exposed while the first bone region was exposed. After optionally performing one or more surgical steps on second bone region, the clinician can reposition the skin to again expose the first bone region. The clinician can then reattach the driver to the implant and remove the implant from the bone portions.
