Benefits of technology

[0013]In accordance with another embodiment, an acetabular surface preparation apparatus can comprise a handling device comprising a proximal end with a handle, a distal end, and a rotatable shaft extending therebetween, a surface preparation device coupled with the distal end and adapted to remove bone from the acetabulum to create a surface suitable for receiving an acetabular implant, a sleeve disposed around the rotatable shaft and adapted to remain stationary while the shaft is rotating, and a surgical orientation device coupled with the sleeve such that the orientation device can remain stationary while the rotatable shaft is rotated.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, there is a lack of devices, systems and methods that can be used to accurately position components of prosthetic joints without overly complicating the procedures, crowding the medical personnel, and / or burdening the physician or health-care facility with the great cost of complex navigation systems.
