A soft tissue displacer tool can include a shaft that is elongate along a central axis, the shaft including a shaft body that defining a proximal end, a distal end that is spaced from the proximal end in a distal direction, and a central location that is disposed equidistantly between the proximal and distal ends. The shaft defines at least one inclined groove that 1) is inclined with respect to a plane that is normal to the central axis, and 2) revolves about the central axis, the groove terminating at a first end and a second end that is spaced from the first end along the distal direction, and the second end is spaced from the distal end. Soft tissue displacer tools are also described in which the shaft is cannulated. The soft tissue displacer tool can further include a guidance member, such as a K-wire, a trocar, or a bone punch.
