METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM FOR SHAVING AND SHAPING OF A JOINT |
摘要 |
Described herein are methods and devices useful for reaming and shaping the surfaces of a joint in a mammalian body. The reaming and shaping devices and methods are particularly useful in preparation of a joint for a minimally invasive joint replacement or resurfacing, though they may be used as part of any appropriate arthroplasty procedure. |

1. A method of modifying a shape of a joint surface of a mammalian joint comprising:
placing a cutting tool at the joint surface, the cutting tool having a central axis and a cutting surface extending over the joint surface, the cutting surface forming a blade angle with the central axis; and simultaneously rotating the cutting surface about the central axis and changing the blade angle to remove joint tissue and thereby modify the shape of the joint surface. |
