A tool set for implanting bone screws in a human spine, followed by the i mplantation of a longitudinal connecting member into the bone screws include s a pair of independently mountable and manipulatable elongate guide tools t hat form a unitary tool guide when desired. Each guide tool includes attachm ent structure for independent operable connection of the guide tool to an ar m of the bone screw. The bone screw/guide tool attachment includes an underc ut and/or recess so as to resist separation of the guide tool member from an attached bone screw. A removable stabilizer cooperating with the pair of gu ide tools places such tools in a set spaced relation to one another when des ired. Further tools include a cooperating bone screw driver with an attached stabilizer, a closure starter/reduction tool, a closure driver and a counte r torque tool. |
