Publication number: 20170290596Abstract: An apparatus for removing bone material including a distal cutting instrument and a proximal cutting instrument. The distal cutting instrument has at least one first cutting edge, a shoulder, and a shaft portion. The shaft portion has an anti-rotation feature. The at least one first cutting edge removes bone material when moved in a first direction. The proximal cutting instrument is removably attached to the shaft portion, and has a first end portion and a second end portion. The second end portion contacts the shoulder of the distal reamer when the proximal reamer is mounted to the shaft portion. The proximal reamer has at least one second cutting edge and an aperture. The aperture is adapted to receive the anti-rotation feature of the shaft portion of the distal reamer. The at least one second cutting edge removes bone material when moved in a second direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2017Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventors: David C. Kelman, Terry W. McLean, Richard D. Lambert, Vincent W. Shotton, David A. Harwood, Alisha W. Bergin, Jerry L. Jones

Publication number: 20140121664Abstract: A system (10) for preparing a long bone for a prosthetic, the long bone having a long axis comprises a distal instrument (12) and a proximal instrument (14). The distal instrument (12) is configured to remove bone from a distal portion of bone. The distal instrument (12) has a bone removing portion (16) configured to remove bone along the long axis of the long bone and a shaft (18) extending from the bone removing portion (16) along the long axis of the long bone. The proximal instrument (14) is configured to overlie the shaft (18) of the distal element (12) within the long bone. The distal shaft (18) guides the proximal instrument (14) to prepare the proximal portion of the long bone after the distal instrument (12) has prepared the distal portion of the long bone.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2014Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Alisha W.
