Claim 16:
17. An instrument for installing a bone fixation device, the instrument comprising:
a frame member formed to include a distal jaw and a drill stop including a notch, wherein the distal jaw and the drill stop extend from a body portion of the frame member in a same direction, the distal jaw is at a distal end of the frame member and the drill stop is at a proximal end of the frame member;
a carriage formed to include a proximal jaw, the carriage slidably coupled to the frame member so as to form a receiver region between the distal jaw and the proximal jaw; and
a drive screw engaged with the frame member and/or the carriage such that rotation of the drive screw causes relative movement between the frame member and the carriage, wherein relative movement between the carriage and the frame member adjusts a distance between the distal jaw and the proximal jaw.
