Abstract

An instrumentation kit for use in preparing a shoulder to receive a glenoid component in one embodiment includes at least one combination device, the combination device including a boring section configured to form a first bore in a glenoid, a drive section operably connected to the boring section, a reaming section positioned proximally from the boring section and operably connected to the drive section, the reaming section configured to ream a portion of the glenoid, and at least one drill guide configured to guide a drill bit and positioned so as to guide the drill bit to form a second bore at a location spaced apart from the first bore, wherein the reaming section and the boring section are positioned with respect to each other such that the boring section forms the first bore and the reaming section simultaneously reams a portion of the glenoid adjacent to the first bore.

Claims (43)

1. An instrumentation kit for use in preparing a shoulder to receive a glenoid component comprising:

at least one combination device, the combination device including

a boring section configured to rotationally form a first bore in a glenoid of a shoulder,

a drive section operably connected to the boring section and configured to receive a rotational force,

a reaming section positioned proximally from the boring section and

operably connected to the drive section, the reaming section configured to rotationally ream a portion of the glenoid, and

at least one drill guide configured to guide a drill bit and positioned so as to guide the drill bit to form a second bore in the shoulder at a location spaced apart from the first bore,

wherein the reaming section and the boring section are positioned with respect to each other such that when the combination device is positioned against the glenoid and the rotational force is applied to the drive section, the boring section rotationally forms the first bore in the glenoid and the reaming section simultaneously rotationally reams a portion of the glenoid adjacent to the first bore.

2. The kit of claim 1 , further comprising a body portion, wherein:

the body portion defines the at least one drill guide;

the body portion defines the drive section;

the reaming section extends distally from the body portion; and

the boring section extends distally from the body portion.

3. The kit of claim 2 , wherein the reaming section comprises:

a plurality of reaming fins extending distally from the body section, each of the plurality of reaming fins defining an arcuate leading edge.

4. The kit of claim 3 , wherein:

the at least one drill guide comprises a plurality of circular drill guides, each of the plurality of circular drill guides positioned such that when a drill bit is extended through any one of the plurality of circular drill guides, the drill bit extends between a respective two of the plurality of reaming fins along an axis substantially parallel to an axis defined by the boring section.

5. The kit of claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of ports extending from a distal surface of the body portion to a proximal surface of the body portion.

6. The kit of claim 1 , the combination device further comprising a guide bore extending from a distal tip of the boring section to the drive portion.

7. The kit of claim 1 , further comprising:

a power extension, the power extension including a first coupling portion configured to couple with the drive section to transfer rotational force to the drive section, and a second coupling portion configured to couple with a rotating power tool.

8. The kit of claim 7 , further comprising:

a manual extension, the manual extension including a first end portion with a coupling portion configured to couple with the drive section to transfer rotational force to the drive section, and a handle located at a second end portion.

9. The kit of claim 8 , wherein the first end portion of the manual extension defines a first axis and the second end portion of the manual extension defines a second axis, the first axis and the second axis forming an angle other than 180 degrees.

10. The kit of claim 8 , wherein:

the combination device further comprises a combination device guide bore extending from a distal tip of the boring section to the drive portion;

the power extension further comprises a power guide bore configured to align with the combination device guide bore when the power extension is coupled to the combination device; and

the manual extension further comprises a manual guide bore configured to align with the combination device guide bore when the manual extension is coupled to the combination device.

11. The kit of claim 8 , wherein the at least one combination device comprises a plurality of combination devices, each of the plurality of combination devices defining a reaming diameter different from the reaming diameter of the other of the plurality of combination devices.

12. The kit of claim 1 , wherein:

the boring section comprises a helically fluted drill member; and

the reaming section comprises a plurality of reaming fins.

13. An instrumentation kit for use in preparing a shoulder to receive a glenoid component comprising:

at least one combination device, the combination device including

a boring section configured to rotationally form a first bore in a glenoid of a shoulder,

a drive section operably connected to the boring section and configured to receive a rotational force,

a reaming section positioned proximally from the boring section and

operably connected to the drive section, the reaming section configured to rotationally ream a portion of the glenoid, and

at least one drill guide configured to guide a drill bit and positioned so as to guide the drill bit to form a second bore in the shoulder at a location spaced apart from the first bore,

wherein the boring section defines a boring section axis and the at least one drill guide defines a drill guide axis, the drill guide axis parallel to the boring section axis.

14. The kit of claim 13 , wherein:

the at least one drill guide comprises a first drill guide, a second drill guide, and a third drill guide; and

the drill guide axis of each of the first drill guide, the second drill guide, and the third drill guide is parallel to the drill guide axes of each of the other of the first drill guide, the second drill guide, and the third drill guide.
