Abstract

A modular reaming system for reaming a plurality of pockets in an anatomical feature extends along a longitudinal axis. The system includes a first reamer in a first position on the longitudinal axis, and the first reamer reams a first pocket in the anatomical feature. The system further includes a second reamer that is removably coupled to the first reamer in a second position on the longitudinal axis. The second reamer reams a second pocket in the anatomical feature. The second reamer is keyed against rotation relative to the first reamer to ream the first and second pockets substantially simultaneously.

Claims (3)

1 . A method of reaming a lemur comprising:

removably coupling a proximal reamer to a shaft fixed to a distal reamer and retaining the proximal reamer against rotation relative to the distal reamer; and

rotating the shaft in a single direction to substantially simultaneously ream a proximal pocket in the femur with the proximal reamer and a distal pocket in the femur with the distal reamer.
