Angled orthopedic surfacer and guide

摘要

An angled orthopedic surfacer and guide which is particularly useful in connection with revision surgeries for femoral hip prostheses. The surfacer comprises a drive shaft connected to a milling head through a U-joint. A housing for the U-joint supports an adjustable spacer which can be moved to selected positions to control the depth of cut. A pivoting guide connects the surfacer to a rasp used to ream out a cavity for a prosthesis. The surfacer can be pivoted around a proximal and medial side of the rasp to cut away bone.
