The drive assembly is coupled to a handle assembly, and the handle assembly is operable to move the implant forwardly between the guide members to position the implant in a space between the bony portions. The handle assembly includes a mounting portion to which the drive assembly is mounted and an actuating portion operable to effect linear movement of the drive assembly.
