Medical devices and methods for accessing a biological body are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes inserting a cannula at least partially into a vertebra such that a threaded portion of the cannula secures the cannula to a portion of a cortical bone of the vertebra and forms a channel within the cortical bone. A medical device is inserted at least partially through the cannula such that a distal end portion of the medical device is disposed within a portion of a cancellous bone of the vertebra. A medical procedure is performed within the cancellous bone using the medical device and then the cannula and the medical device are removed from the vertebra, leaving a channel in the vertebra having at least partially threaded interior walls. A bone screw that has threads configured to matingly engage the threaded channel is then inserted into the threaded channel.
