Abstract
In one aspect, a surgical driver is provided that includes a driver shaft, a handle rotatably connected to the driver shaft, and a resilient, elongate pin extending transverse to the driver shaft. The pin is operably engaged with the driver shaft and the handle so that torque applied to the handle causes turning of the driver shaft. The pin is configured to deflect to limit the torque applied to the driver shaft.
