Abstract: The present invention relates to a surgical drill guide having an anchoring mechanism for locking the drill guide to a bone plate. The anchoring mechanism is adapted to be received through an opening of a bone plate and rotated to lock the drill guide to the bone plate. The anchoring mechanism can be rotated by a driver, which has a distal end key that fits into a corresponding socket of on the proximal portion of the anchoring mechanism. The present invention also relates to a kit including a bone plate, a driver, and the drill guide and a method for using the kit to perform surgery.
