A high-torque fastener (24) having a threaded shaft (26) and a star-shaped head (40) is disclosed. The high-torque fastener (24) is made of a resorbable or other non-magnetic material. A mating driver (22) snugly fits around the star-shaped head (40) of the fastener (24), to thereby apply torque to the perimeter of the star-shaped head (40). The driver (22) can be made disposable, and the driver and fastener (20) packaged together in a single, disposable assembly. Additionally, the driver (22) can be color coded to indicate the size of the fastener (24) which is pre-attached to the driver (22) in the packaging.
