The reamer has a component (10) to prepare a cavity in an intramedullary canal of a long bone. The component has a portion for placement in the canal, and defines a rotational centerline. A component (12), coupled to the component (10) by a joint, defines a rotational centerline. The centerlines have relationships in which the centerlines coincide to form an angle alpha , and skew with respect to each other to form an angle beta . An independent claim is also included for a kit for preparing a cavity in the intramedullary canal of a long bone for use in performing joint arthroplasty. |
