The driver may be configured to extend with the engagement portion through the tubular holder, and may be axially movable and rotatable within the holder. The holder may have a radial slot adapted for insertion of the locking element. The holder may include a portion with an internal thread for cooperation with an external thread of the locking element. The locking element may be used with a polyaxial bone anchor.
