Embodiment Construction

[0069] Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0070] Figure 1 to Figure 5 A number of different views of an acetabular reamer shank 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0071] The acetabular reamer shank 10 includes a shaft 20 . as in Figure 5 As can be seen in cross-section of , the shaft 20 is substantially hollow. The shaft includes a plurality of shaft sections. The shaft section may be substantially cylindrical and may have a substantially circular cross-section. In this embodiment, these shaft segments include a distal shaft segment 20A and an additional shaft segment 20B. In the present embodiment, shaft 20 comprises only two shaft sections, whereby additional shaft section 20B may be considered a proximal shaft section. It is contemplated that shaft 20 may include more than two (eg, three, four...) shaft sections including those of FIGS. Figure 5 A distal shaft sec...

Abstract

An acetabular reamer handle and a method of reaming an acetabulum are provided. The handle includes a hollow shaft having a plurality of shaft sections including a distal shaft section having a distalend and a proximal end and an additional shaft section having a distal end that is pivotally attached to the proximal end of the distal shaft section to allow the additional shaft section and the distal shaft section to be adjustably oriented at an angle. The handle also includes a hollow neck part having a longitudinal axis. The handle further includes a drive line having a head part mounted forrotation about the longitudinal axis and connectable to a reamer. A distal end of the distal shaft section is pivotally attached to a proximal end of the neck part to allow the distal shaft section and the neck part to be adjustably oriented at an angle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an acetabular reamer shank. The invention also relates to methods of reaming the acetabulum in hip replacement surgery. Background technique [0002] Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant. As part of hip replacement surgery, a patient's acetabulum may be prepared to receive an acetabular cup implant by reaming the acetabulum to the proper size and depth. A surgical tool for reaming an acetabulum is disclosed which may include a reamer having a substantially hemispherical dome to be received in the acetabulum. The reamer may also include features on the outer surface of the dome for reaming the inner surface of the acetabulum as the reamer rotates. The reamer can be attached to the distal end of the tubular reamer handle to allow the surgeon to manipulate the reamer (e.g., position the dome in the acetabulum and apply a The force of the reamer against the...
