Summary:A reamer that creates blind holes in a bone has a reamer body connected to a reamer shaft. The reamer body has a shell curvature having at least a portion of a hemisphere, a convex curved exterior surface and a concave curved interior surface, extending from an apex to a lower edge. The reamer body is capable of being rotated about a perpendicular axis; and has at least a first and second left-hand spiral reamer blade. Each left-hand spiral blade extends from the lower edge to the apex and contacts each other at the apex. Each blade is positioned near a slot. When the reamer body rotates and contacts a bone or tissue, the left-hand spiral blades cut bone and pushes the cut bone toward the apex of the exterior surface.
