Abstract

A surgical cutting device (10) for cutting and removing cartilage from a diseased area. The surgical cutting device includes an elongated shaft (12) having a proximal portion (18) and a distal portion (20) connected between a proximal end (14) and a distal end (16). A central longitudinal axis extends through the elongated shaft. The proximal portion has a first diameter and the distal portion has a second diameter, the first diameter being larger than the second diameter. The cutting device also includes a cutting tip (22) at the distal end of the elongated shaft. The cutting tip extends along a second axis at an angle relative to the central longitudinal axis and includes a curved blade (24). The curved blade includes an inner wall (26) extending to a base (28) of the cutting tip.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 735,290, filed September 24, 2018, entitled "Chondratome." Background technique [0003] 1. technical field [0004] The present invention relates generally to surgical cutting devices, and more particularly to blades for cutting and removing cartilage from diseased areas. [0005] 2. Related technical description [0006] A variety of conditions can negatively affect a person's knee, including arthritis, ligamentous instability, and localized trauma. These conditions can be treated surgically by repairing parts of the knee cartilage, menisci, or ligaments, or by replacing these parts with natural or artificial substitutes. During this type of surgery, it is often necessary to correct the alignment of the knee to relieve stress from the damaged part of the joint and to balance the load on the joint. In some cases, correcting knee...
