Oscillating rasp for use in an orthopaedic surgical procedure
Oscillating rasps for the surgical preparation of the bone prior to the implantation of a glenoid or acetabular component with complex geometry are disclosed. Surgical methods for the use of such oscillating rasps are also disclosed.
1. A method of surgically implanting a glenoid component into the glenoid of a patient, comprising:
drilling an anchor hole into the glenoid of the patient,
securing an anchor surface of a rasp guide into the glenoid of the patient, the rasp guide including a concave guide surface that is opposite the anchor surface and an anchor peg extending perpendicularly therefrom,
oscillating a surgical rasp over the rasp guide such that the concave guide surface guides the surgical rasp to abrade bone tissue to form a cavity shaped to receive the glenoid component, and
implanting the glenoid component in the cavity,
wherein oscillating the surgical rasp includes pivoting the surgical rasp along an arced path to define a concave posterior glenoid surface, and
wherein securing the rasp guide into the glenoid of the patient comprises inserting the anchor peg of the rasp guide in the drilled anchor hole.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the surgical rasp comprises an attachment head having a cutting head secured thereto, and
oscillating the surgical rasp comprises securing the attachment head to an oscillating power tool and operating the power tool so as to oscillate the cutting head of the surgical rasp.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein: the surgical rasp comprises a cutting head having a depth stop,
wherein the guide surface faces outwardly from the glenoid of the patient, and
oscillating the surgical rasp comprises advancing the surgical rasp toward the glenoid of the patient until the depth stop of the surgical rasp contacts the guide surface of the rasp guide.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
inserting a guide pin into the glenoid of the patient,
advancing a reamer over the guide pin, and
reaming the glenoid of the patient to create a reamed surface prior to oscillating the surgical rasp over the rasp guide to form the cavity shaped to receive the glenoid component.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
implanting the glenoid component in the cavity comprises implanting an augmented glenoid component in the cavity, the augmented glenoid component comprising a buttress, and
oscillating the surgical rasp so as to abrade bone tissue comprises oscillating the surgical rasp so as to abrade bone tissue to form a cavity shaped to receive the buttress of the augmented glenoid component.
6. A method of surgically implanting a glenoid component into a glenoid of a patient, comprising:
inserting a guide pin into the glenoid of the patient,
advancing a reamer over the guide pin,
reaming the glenoid of the patient to create a reamed surface,
advancing a cannulated drill over the guide pin,
drilling an anchor hole into the reamed surface of the glenoid of the patient,
inserting an anchor peg of a rasp guide in the drilled anchor hole to secure an anchor surface of the rasp guide into the glenoid of the patient, the rasp guide including a concave guide surface that is opposite the anchor surface and the anchor peg extends perpendicularly from the anchor surface,
oscillating a surgical rasp over the rasp guide such that the concave guide surface guides the surgical rasp to abrade bone tissue to form a cavity shaped to receive the glenoid component, and
implanting the glenoid component in the cavity,
wherein oscillating the surgical rasp includes pivoting the surgical rasp along an arced path to define a concave posterior glenoid surface.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein:
the surgical rasp comprises an attachment head having a cutting head secured thereto, and
oscillating the surgical rasp comprises securing the attachment head to an oscillating power tool and operating the power tool so as to oscillate the cutting head of the surgical rasp.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein:
implanting the glenoid component in the cavity comprises implanting an augmented glenoid component in the cavity, the augmented glenoid component comprising a buttress, and
oscillating the surgical rasp so as to abrade bone tissue comprises oscillating the surgical rasp so as to abrade bone tissue to form a cavity shaped to receive the buttress of the augmented glenoid component.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein: the surgical rasp comprises a cutting head having a depth stop,
wherein the guide surface faces outwardly from the glenoid of the patient, and
oscillating the surgical rasp comprises advancing the surgical rasp toward the glenoid of the patient until the depth stop of the surgical rasp contacts the guide surface of the rasp guide.
