<p>A device (100) for reaming a bone includes an elongated shaft (102) extending along a first longitudinal axis (101) from a first end to a second end (104), the shaft being sufficiently longitudinally flexible to enable it to be passed through a path having a curvature of a target bone and a reaming head (106) extending along a second longitudinal axis (111) from the second end to a third free end (108), wherein the first longitudinal axis is parallel to and laterally offset from the second longitudinal axis so that, upon rotation of the shaft, the reaming head rotates eccentrically with respect to the first longitudinal axis. The device can be a clavicle reamer. The offset movement of the reamer head and the flexibility of the shaft guides the clavicle reamer along the curvature of the medullary canal and permits it to skive off a cortical wall of the clavicle.</p> |
