A soft tissue displacer tool (100; 200) for moving soft tissue along an outer shaft surface (109; 209) of the tool (100; 200), comprising: a shaft (105; 205) that is elongate along a central axis (110; 210), the shaft (105; 205) including a shaft body (107; 207) having a proximal end (120; 220), a distal end (130; 230) that is spaced from the proximal end (120; 220) in a distal direction, and an outer shaft surface (109; 209); wherein the outer shaft surface (109; 209) comprises at least one inclined groove (140; 240) that is recessed into the shaft body (107; 207) and is inclined with respect to a plane (113; 213) that is normal to the central axis (110; 210), and 2) revolves about the central axis (110; 210), the groove (140; 240) terminating at a first end (145; 245) and a second end (150; 250) that is spaced from the first end (145; 245) along the distal direction, and the second end (150; 250) is spaced from the distal end (130; 230) along a proximal direction that is opposite the distal direction, wherein the outer shaft surface (109; 209) is defined by at least one protrusion such that the groove (140; 240) is defined between adjacent revolutions of the at least one protrusion about the central axis (110; 210); wherein the outer shaft surface (109; 209) at the at least one protrusion is substantially smooth, such that the at least one groove (140; 240) is configured to cause soft tissue to move along the outer shaft surface (109; 209) away from bone in the proximal direction as the shaft (105; 205) is rotated in the soft tissue once the soft tissue displacer tool (100; 200) has been driven into bone; and wherein the shaft includes (105; 205) a distal facing cutting edge (160; 260) located distal each groove (140; 240) on the outer shaft surface (109; 209). a shaft (105; 205) that is elongate along a central axis (110; 210), the shaft (105; 205) including a shaft body (107; 207) having a proximal end (120; 220), a distal end (130; 230) that is spaced from the proximal end (120; 220) in a distal direction, and an outer shaft surface (109; 209); wherein the outer shaft surface (109; 209) comprises at least one inclined groove (140; 240) that is recessed into the shaft body (107; 207) and is inclined with respect to a plane (113; 213) that is normal to the central axis (110; 210), and 2) revolves about the central axis (110; 210), the groove (140; 240) terminating at a first end (145; 245) and a second end (150; 250) that is spaced from the first end (145; 245) along the distal direction, and the second end (150; 250) is spaced from the distal end (130; 230) along a proximal direction that is opposite the distal direction, wherein the outer shaft surface (109; 209) is defined by at least one protrusion such that the groove (140; 240) is defined between adjacent revolutions of the at least one protrusion about the central axis (110; 210); wherein the outer shaft surface (109; 209) at the at least one protrusion is substantially smooth, such that the at least one groove (140; 240) is configured to cause soft tissue to move along the outer shaft surface (109; 209) away from bone in the proximal direction as the shaft (105; 205) is rotated in the soft tissue once the soft tissue displacer tool (100; 200) has been driven into bone; and wherein the shaft includes (105; 205) a distal facing cutting edge (160; 260) located distal each groove (140; 240) on the outer shaft surface (109; 209).
