Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for shaping bone voids during revision procedures of total knee replacements. The systems disclosed herein generally include a cannulated reamer assembly, a reaming guide assembly, a guide tube assembly, a trial stem assembly, and an optional insertion/removal tool. Metaphyseal reconstruction devices can be used to fill the bone voids in conjunction with the systems and methods disclosed herein.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A surgical system for preparing bone comprising:
 a reaming guide assembly including:
 a trial stem having a proximal end and a longitudinal axis, the trial stem configured to fit into an intramedullary canal in the bone, and 
 a guide tube assembly having a distal end portion and a guide tube angled with respect to the distal end portion, wherein the distal end portion of the guide tube is coupled to the proximal end of the trial stem such that a longitudinal axis of the guide tube is angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the trial stem; and 
   a cannulated reamer assembly for shaping a bone cavity, the cannulated reamer assembly having a proximal end, a reaming head coupled at a distal end and a cannulation extending through the reaming head and distal end thereof,   wherein a longitudinal axis of the cannulated reamer assembly is angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the trial stem when at least a portion of the guide tube is housed within the cannulation of the cannulated reamer assembly.
