1. A bone anchor insertion device comprising:
(a) a proximal section comprising an impact-receiving region and a depth indicator;
(b) a distal section comprising a handle, wherein said distal section interfaces with said proximal section;
(c) a driver, wherein said driver interfaces with said distal section; and
(d) a stylet;
wherein said stylet resides in a channel extending from said proximal section through said distal section and through said driver, said proximal section translates without rotation relative to said distal section, and said depth indicator indicates a length that said stylet extends beyond a distal tip of said driver.
