发明名称 Flip retrograde cutting instrument
摘要 A flip retrograde cutting instrument and method of retrograde drilling using such an instrument. A method of forming a socket includes providing a flip retrograde cutter, inserting the cutter into a joint with a blade of the cutter in a straight position, pivoting the blade to a non-straight flip position, locking the blade in the flip position, and retrograde drilling a socket using the blade in the flip position.

主权项 1. A flip retrograde cutter comprising: a cannulated elongated body having a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal axis, the body further comprising a shaft; a blade at a distal end of the shaft, the blade being securely engaged to the shaft and capable of movement from a first position generally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the body to a second, flip position which is not aligned with the longitudinal axis; and a locking tube over the shaft, the locking tube being configured to be retracted to allow the blade to articulate and to flip, the locking tube being further adapted to be tightened and to securely lock the blade in the second, flip position, the locking tube having a slot at its distal end to securely lock the blade in a given position, wherein the blade is articulated to an angle of about 90° to the longitudinal axis of the shaft of the flip retrograde cutter when the blade is in the second, flip position, and wherein, in the second, flip position, the blade faces the proximal end of the body for retrograde drilling of a bone tunnel or socket when the flip retrograde cutter is pulled proximally.
