  • Publication number: 20230157705
    Abstract: A system or kit includes a rotating tool and a guide. The rotating tool includes an elongated shaft with at least one cutting edge. The rotating tool is configured to remove bone from a patient. The guide includes a body comprising a contact surface and a guide channel. The contact surface is configured to position the guide relative to a patient or an implant. The guide channel is configured to receive the elongated shaft and to allow the cutting edge to be swept along a path. The path corresponds to a portion of the bone to be removed. A method of removing an implant includes forming an incision in a patient. The method further includes inserting a rotating tool into the incision such that a cutting edge of the rotating tool is adjacent to a surface of the implant. The method further includes sweeping the cutting edge along a first path adjacent to the surface of the implant to remove bone adjacent to the implant.
