The elastic member 4 is a spring.

[0041] By providing the osteotome 2 inside the trephine 1, the cartilage column remaining in the pipe body during modeling can be quickly ejected by pushing, improving the modeling efficiency of cartilage defects and the convenience of using the device. The osteotome 2 itself can also adjust its length, further adapting to the ejection of cartilage columns at different depths. By providing the locator 3 outside and cooperating with the scale lines, the depth of cartilage defects can be accurately controlled, facilitating the adaptation to the different requirements of cartilage defect depths of different species of animals.

[0042] Figures 1 - 2 and Figure 4 The second embodiment is shown. The main difference from the first embodiment is that the locator 3 includes:

[0049] Meanwhile, the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.

[0050] During use, first loosen the screw 32, slide the locator 3 to a suitable height with reference to the scale, and then tighten the screw 32 to lock the locator 3;

[0051] Insert the drill bit connecting piece 5 into the top end of the trephine 1, then rotate the threaded locking tube 6 to make it rise to lock the drill bit connecting piece 5, and then the trephine 1 can be installed on the electric drill through the drill bit connecting piece 5;

[0052] At this time, align the trephine 1 with the cartilage, then start the electric drill to drive the trephine 1 to rotate, so that it cuts the cartilage and drills out the cartilage column. After pulling out the trephine 1 to bring out the cartilage column, slide down the sliding sleeve 22 so that the ejector rod 21 ejects the cartilage column, and after releasing the hand, the bone extractor 2 resets under the resilience of the elastic member 4.
