Summary:There is provided a drill guide assembly (10) adapted for removable connection to a bone plate (200, 310, 1150, 1250) and for guiding a drill bit (300) through at least one hole (202, 312) that has a central axis. The drill guide assembly (10) includes a guide sleeve (80, 600, 910, 952, 1000, 1052, 1110, 1210) and a guide collar (30) connected to the guide sleeve. The guide collar has an outrigger (40, 500, 800), and the outrigger has at least one opening (42, 504, 804) adapted to receive the drill bit. The at least one opening allows an operator to select an angle for placement of the drill bit and limits the maximum angle selectable by the operator.
