Description

SURGICAL TOOL FOR ROUNDING OFF THE EDGE OF A DRILLED HOLE IN A BONE
This invention relates to a surgical tool for use areas with difficult access, such as adjacent to the intern end of a drilled hole in a bone entering the knee joint, b not limited thereto. The tool may be a radiussing tool for rounding off ( merely bevelling) the internal end edge of a drilled hole in bone, particularly for avoidance of damage to an artifici ligament subsequently emerging from that end of the hole, it may be a cutting tool for cutting tissue adjacent to t internal end of a drilled hole in a bone.
A radiussing cutter is known comprising a tubul member adapted to be passed through a drilled hole in a bo from the external end, an arcuate blade movable from whol within the tubular member to a position projecting through slot in the tubular member adjacent the distal end, a pus pull rod for moving the blade between projecting and retract positions extending to an actuating knob at the proximal e of the tubular member and handle means on the proximal end the tubular member to enable the cutter to be oscillated a intermittently rotated to work the blade round the intern end edge of the drilled hole.
Use of such a cutter is slow and laborious, so o aspect of the present invention has as its object to provi a powered radiussing tool adapted to perform the same similar functions.
According to one aspect of the present invention, radiussing tool comprises a head having a maximum diameter n greater than a drilled hole in a bone the internal end edge of which it is intended to round off, a drive shaft co-axially attachable to the head, the head having adjacent the attachment to the drive shaft an abrasive surface of revolution with a profile (which is advantageously concave) converging towards the drive shaft, a tubular member having at a distal end an entry opening for the drive shaft and having at the proximal end an exit opening for the drive shaft, means at the proximal end of the drive shaft for attachment of power driving means, handgrip means adjacent the proximal end of the tubular member for guiding the tubular member both axially and rotationally, and biassing means associated with the tubular member whereby, after the head has been pushed through the drilled hole from the external end and has emerged from the internal end of the hole, the head is caused to move eccentrically with respect to the hole, so that the head can be pulled partially into the internal end of the hole for that end edge of the hole to be contacted by the abrasive surface of the head. After attachment of power drive means, which may be rotary or oscillatory, to enable the abrasive surface of the head to abrade the internal end edge of the hole, the head is carried round that edge by the tubular member being rotated or oscillated by means of the handgrip means adjacent the proximal end.
The entry and exit openings for the drive shaft are preferably coaxial with the tubular member and the biassing means consists of a guide member having a guide surface (which is conveniently generally cylindrical) or guide surfac eccentric to the tubular member and adapted to make a clo sliding fit in the drilled hole in the bone; whereby, when t head has been pushed through the drilled hole from t external end by means of the tubular member until the he emerges from the internal end of the hole, the guide memb can be fed into the hole in the bone, so causing the head adopt an eccentric position with respect to the hole.
The guide member may be detachable from the tubul member to enable it to be interchangeable with at least o similar guide member to suit a different diameter of hole in bone. Thus, the (or each) guide member may have cylindrical stem with a longitudinal groove making a clo sliding fit on the tubular member, the proximal end of t guide member having a knob forming handgrip means for pushi the stem of the guide member into the hole in the bone and f rotating the guide member to effect orbitting the head (wi the tubular member) round the hole, a knob also preferab being provided on the proximal end of the tubular member form axial handgrip means for pushing the head through t hole in the bone and (after the guide member has been fed in the hole) for pulling the head partially into the internal e of the hole.
The entry opening of the tubular member preferab includes a low-friction bearing for the drive shaft, which h an annular end for abutment by an annular shoulder of t head. A low-friction bearing may also be provided adjace the exit opening of the tubular member. The head may be formed of abrasive material, e.g., carborundum, or may be formed of non-abrasive material, e.g., carbon or stainless steel or a ceramic, with its profiled surface having abrasive particles bonded thereto, such as carborundum or industrial diamonds. The head is preferably interchangeably connected to the drive shaft to enable use of heads with variations of profile and abrasive qualities.
The tubular member and/or the drive shaft may incorporate one or more cannula, for an irrigation and/or extraction system for removal of bone debris.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a cutting tool for cutting tissue adjacent the internal end of a hole drilled in a bone is similar to the abrading tool described above, being modified by replacing the abrading head by a head provided with cutting edges along all or part of its profile, the cutter head likewise preferably being interchangeably connected to the drive shaft to enable use of heads with variations of profile and cutting ability.
