The present invention provides a device for cutting and placing a bone button during a button fusion procedure. The device preferably includes a first shaft portion, a second shaft portion rotatably disposed within said first shaft portion, and a cutting portion removably attached to said first shaft portion. When said first shaft portion is rotated, the cutting portion cuts a button of bone, which is then taken into an interior space of said cutting portion. Applying pressure to the second shaft portion forces the button of bone out of the device and into the proper location for a button fusion. The present invention also provides a method of using the device to perform a button fusion.
