REAMER
Described herein are reverse shoulder devices and related systems, methods, and kits useful in orthopedic surgery. In some embodiments, a reamer is described having a handle, a shank and a cutting body. In some embodiments, the cutting body has a threaded region and a tapered cutting region. In some embodiments, the cutting body is configured to compact bone particles against the inner surface of a bone bore while reaming the bone.
1 . A reamer for performing an orthopedic surgery on a subject, the reamer comprising:
a handle configured to be gripped by a user; and
a cutting body coupled to the handle and comprising
i) a threaded region configured to compact bone particles within a bone bore, and
ii) a tapered region configured to cut a bore into bone.
2 . The reamer of claim 1 , further comprising a shank configured to couple the handle to the cutting body.
3 . The reamer of claim 2 , wherein the shank is releasably coupled with the cutting body.
4 . The reamer of claim 2 , further comprising an annular disk extending radially from the shank.
5 . The reamer of claim 4 , wherein the annular disk is spaced apart from the tapered region so as to correspond to a maximum depth of the tapered region within the bore when the annular disk interfaces with an outer surface of the bone.
6 . The reamer of claim 2 , further comprising a neck region extending between the shank and the cutting body, the neck region tapering radially inwards from a wide end interfacing with the cutting body to a narrow end interfacing with the shank.
7 . The reamer of claim 1 , wherein the tapered region further comprises a first protrusion extending from an external surface of the tapered region.
8 . The reamer of claim 7 , further comprising a second protrusion extending from the external surface of the tapered region.
9 . The reamer of claim 1 , wherein the tapered region further comprises a first cutting channel.
10 . The reamer of claim 1 , further comprising an opening extending through a longitudinal axis of the cutting body.
11 . The reamer of claim 1 , wherein the threaded region further comprises a first notch extending longitudinally between a proximal and distal end of the cutting body and at least partially recessed into the threaded region.
12 . The reamer of claim 11 , wherein the threaded region further comprises a second notch extending longitudinally between the proximal and distal end of the cutting body and at least partially recessed into the threaded region.
13 . The reamer of claim 1 , wherein the threaded region comprises one or more threads angled 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, or 30°, relative to a circumference axis of the threaded region.
14 . A method of forming a bore in a bone; the method comprising:
reaming a portion of the bone to form the bore within the bone;
compacting a plurality of bone particles against an inner surface of the bore by rotating a cutting body comprising a threaded region and a tapered region, wherein the threaded region comprises one or more threads configured to compact the plurality of bone particles about the inner surface of the bone bore; and
removing the cutting body from the bone bore.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the one or more threads are angled 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, or 30°, relative to a circumference axis of the threaded region.
16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the cutting body is releasably coupled to a shank.
17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising reaming the bore to achieve a final depth of the tapered region within the bore, such that an annular disk extending radially from the shank interfaces with an outer surface of the bone.
18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the threaded region further comprises a first notch extending longitudinally between a proximal and distal end of the cutting body and at least partially recessed into the threaded region.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the threaded region further comprises a second notch extending longitudinally between the proximal and distal end of the cutting body and at least partially recessed into the threaded region.
20 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising passing an opening extending through a longitudinal axis of the cutting body over a surgical guide pin disposed in the bone.
