Abstract
A fastener cartridge can include a body defining a plurality of retention bores that can each extend through the body and can each be configured to retain a fastener therein. The cartridge can also include a boss, a cam, and an actuator. The boss can extend from the body and can be insertable into a connection bore of a bone plate to align each retention bore with a fastener bore of the bone plate. The cam can be connected to the body and can be rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The cam can be operated by the actuator and can be engageable with a body of the plate in the locked position to secure the plate to the cartridge.
