Publication number: 20220211396Abstract: A system includes an instrument and a distractor. The instrument includes a shaft extending from a first end to a second end and defining a first axis between the first end and the second end. The instrument further includes a first gear coupled to the first end of the shaft. The instrument further includes a second gear enmeshed with the first gear. The instrument further includes a reamer coupled to the second gear. Rotation of the shaft about the first axis causes rotation of the reamer about a second axis that is non-parallel with the first axis.
