Compression staple systems and methods

A compression staple system for bone fixation, the system comprising:

• a first drill configured to create a first hole in a bone;
• a second drill configured to create a second hole in the bone;
• and
• a drill guide comprising:
• a handle;
• a foot portion coupled to the handle;
• a first guide sleeve captively and slidably received in the foot portion between a first position and a second position, the first guide sleeve comprising:
• a first aperture configured to guide the first drill along a first trajectory;
• and
• a second aperture configured to guide the second drill along a second trajectory;
• and
• a second guide sleeve captively and slidably received in the foot portion between a third position and a fourth position and spaced apart from the first guide sleeve with the first guide sleeve received in the foot portion, the second guide sleeve comprising:
• a third aperture configured to guide the first drill along a third trajectory;
• and
• a fourth aperture configured to guide the second drill along a fourth trajectory;
• wherein, with the first guide sleeve between the first position and the second position, and the second guide sleeve between the third position and the fourth position, the first trajectory, the second trajectory, the third trajectory, and the fourth trajectory are all parallel.

A compression staple system for bone fixation, the system comprising:

• a first drill configured to create a first hole in a bone;
• and
• a drill guide comprising:
• a handle;
• a first guide sleeve configured to receive the first drill and comprising a first longitudinal axis and a first bone contacting end opposite a first drill receiving end;
• a second guide sleeve configured to receive the first drill and comprising a second longitudinal axis and a second bone contacting end opposite a second drill receiving end;
• and
• a foot portion coupled to the handle and configured to slidably receive the first guide sleeve and the second guide sleeve;
• wherein:
• the second guide sleeve is spaced apart from the first guide sleeve with the first guide sleeve and the second guide sleeve received in the foot portion;
• the first guide sleeve comprises a plurality of first apertures, at least one of which is configured to receive the first drill;
• the second guide sleeve comprises a plurality of second apertures, at least one of which is configured to receive the first drill;
• and
• with the first bone contacting end and the second bone contacting end engaged with the bone, the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are parallel regardless of an angle between the first longitudinal axis and the bone.
