More Information
Summary:A system for reaming a bone including a guiding wire (50) configured to be attached to the bone; a tubular depth guide (90) configured to cover at least a portion of the guiding wire, the tubular depth guide including a first end configured to abut the bone, and a second end opposite the first end; a reaming device (52) including an elongate recess (96) therein that extends between a reaming tool (97) of the reaming device and an interior of the reaming device; a depth control window (102) formed in an exterior surface of the reaming device; wherein the elongate recess is configured to receive each of the guiding wire and depth guide therein; the elongate recess includes a reduced diameter section that defines a shoulder (100), the shoulder is designed to abut the second end of the tubular depth guide to control a depth to which the bone is reamed, and the depth control window provides visual access to the second end of the tubular depth guide to determine whether a reaming depth has been reached.
