ABSTRACT:
An insertion device for a surgical pin includes a body defining a bore therein and a retainer disposed in the bore for frictionally engaging a portion of the surgical pin. The bore includes an aperture defining an entry into the bore, a surface for limiting the depth of insertion of the surgical pin, a wall surface extending from the insertion limiting surface, and a recess in the wall surface disposed between the aperture and the insertion limiting surface. In an exemplary embodiment, the retainer is an O-ring disposed within the recess. The O-ring defines a resilient aperture having a diameter less than that of the pin.
