REAMER," the disclosures of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
BACKGROUND
1. Field of the Invention.
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of orthopaedics. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for reaming a bone socket, such as the glenoid of the scapula, to receive a prosthetic component.
2. Description of the Related Art.
[0003] A patient's shoulder or glenohumeral joint includes a generally ball-shaped head of the humerus that articulates with the glenoid or socket of the scapula. In a healthy shoulder joint, articular cartilage covers the articular portions of the humeral head and the glenoid to facilitate movement of the shoulder joint. However, due to disease or traumatic injury, for example, the articular cartilage of the shoulder joint may be damaged or degenerated.
[0004] Such changes to the shoulder anatomy may necessitate replacement of all or part of the natural shoulder joint with prosthetic shoulder components. For example, the natural humeral head may be replaced with a prosthetic humeral component. Also, the glenoid may be replaced with a prosthetic glenoid component. When glenoid
replacement is indicated, the glenoid may be resurfaced and shaped to accept the prosthetic glenoid component. The prosthetic glenoid component generally includes an articular surface that is engaged by the prosthetic humeral component.
SUMMARY
[0005] The present invention provides an orthopaedic reamer for preparing a bone socket, such as the glenoid of the scapula, to receive a prosthetic glenoid component, and a method for using the same. The orthopaedic reamer includes an elongate shaft and an oblong cutting head, such as a cutting head having an oval or elliptical shape.
[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an orthopaedic reamer is provided for preparing a patient's bone. The orthopaedic reamer includes a shaft that is rotatable about a longitudinal axis and a cutting head coupled to the shaft to transmit rotation of the shaft about the longitudinal axis to the cutting head. The cutting head of the orthopaedic reamer includes an oblong body having a peripheral wall that defines an outer perimeter of the cutting head, a length of the oblong body exceeding a width of the oblong body, a first blade that extends radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis toward the peripheral wall of the oblong body, and a second blade that extends radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis toward the peripheral wall of the oblong body in a direction transverse to the first blade.
[0007] According to another embodiment of the present invention, an orthopaedic reamer configured for rotation about a longitudinal axis is provided to prepare a patient's bone. The orthopaedic reamer includes a shaft and a cutting head coupled to the shaft. The cutting head of the orthopaedic reamer includes an oblong body having a peripheral wall that defines an outer perimeter of the cutting head, a first dimension of the oblong body exceeding a second dimension of the oblong body, and a plurality of blades spaced radially about the longitudinal axis, the plurality of blades extending radially outwardly toward the peripheral wall of the oblong body.
[0008] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided for preparing a glenoid of a patient's scapula using an orthopaedic reamer
having an oblong cutting head that defines a bone-contacting surface. The method includes the steps of: accessing the patient's scapula; inserting the oblong cutting head through an incision, a length of the oblong cutting head inserted through the incision exceeding a width of the oblong cutting head inserted through the incision; and positioning the bone-contacting surface of the oblong cutting head against the glenoid of the patient's scapula.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] A patient's left shoulder joint 100 is illustrated in Figure 1. The natural shoulder joint 100 includes humerus 102 and scapula 104. Humerus 102 of shoulder joint 100 includes a generally ball-shaped head 106. Scapula 104 of shoulder joint 100 includes glenoid or socket 108 having glenoid surface 110. During movement of the natural shoulder joint 100, head 106 of humerus 102 articulates within glenoid 108 of scapula 104 against glenoid surface 110. As shown in Figure 2, glenoid 108 of scapula 104 is bordered by anterior surface 112, posterior surface 114, superior surface 116, and inferior surface 118 of scapula 104.
[0018] If scapula 104 of the natural shoulder joint 100 suffers traumatic injury or degenerative changes, for example, a surgeon may replace the natural glenoid 108 with prosthetic glenoid component 200, as shown in Figure 5. An exemplary procedure for preparing scapula 104 to receive prosthetic glenoid component 200 is set forth below. Additional information regarding the preparation of scapula 104 is set forth in U.S. Patent No. 7,294,133, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Preparing a Glenoid Surface," filed June 2, 2005, the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein.
[0019] First, the surgeon exposes glenoid surface 110 of the natural shoulder joint
100, as shown in Figure 2. This step involves making an incision 302 into the patient's skin or other soft tissue 300, as shown in Figure 6, and moving shoulder muscles away from glenoid surface 110.
[0020] Next, the surgeon inserts guide pin 120 medially into glenoid surface 110 of glenoid 108, as shown in Figure 2. Guide pin 120 may be a 3 millimeter K- wire, for example. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, this step may be performed using an alignment guide component (not shown) that references scapula 104 to properly position and orient guide pin 120 in glenoid 108. An exemplary alignment guide component is shown and described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12/846,277, entitled "Glenoid Alignment Tool," filed July 29, 2010, the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein. Once inserted into the
patient's bone, guide pin 120 projects laterally beyond glenoid surface 110, as shown in Figure 2, to serve as an alignment feature for instruments used to prepare glenoid surface 110. In particular, guide pin 120 serves as an alignment feature for reamer 10.
[0021] An exemplary reamer 10 is illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. Reamer 10 has longitudinal axis 12 and includes an elongate shaft 20 and cutting head 30. As shown in Figure 2, shaft 20 and cutting head 30 of reamer 10 cooperate to define referencing bore 14 that extends along longitudinal axis 12 of reamer 10 and that is sized to receive guide pin 120 therein.
[0022] Referring to Figure 2, shaft 20 of reamer 10 extends along longitudinal axis 12 from first end 22 to second end 24. First end 22 of shaft 20 is coupled to cutting head 30 of reamer 10 to transmit rotational motion of shaft 20 to cutting head 30. For example, first end 22 of shaft 20 may be externally threaded to engage an internally threaded cutting head 30. As another example, first end 22 of shaft 20 may be non- circular in cross-section for receipt within a non-circular recess of cutting head 30.
Second end 24 of shaft 20 may be attached to a suitable electrical tool 26 that is able to drive rotation of both shaft 20 and cutting head 30 about longitudinal axis 12 along arrow R.
[0023] Referring to Figures 2-4, cutting head 30 of reamer 10 includes body 31 having first surface 32 and second bone-contacting surface 34. As shown in Figure 4, second bone-contacting surface 34 of cutting head 30 may be slightly convex to match the slightly concave curvature of glenoid surface 110. It is also within the scope of the present invention that second bone-contacting surface 34 of cutting head 30 may be nearly flat. Body 31 of cutting head 30 also includes a continuous, smooth peripheral wall 36 that joins first surface 32 and second bone-contacting surface 34. Longitudinal axis 12 of reamer 10 extends through center 37 of cutting head 30.
[0024] Cutting head 30 of reamer 10 may further include a cylindrical wall 40 that extends upwardly from first surface 32 along longitudinal axis 12 to define chamber 42 that is sized to receive shaft 20 therein. More particularly, chamber 42 of cutting head 30 may be sized to receive first end 22 of shaft 20 therein. As mentioned above, wall 40
of cutting head 30 may be internally threaded to engage an externally threaded shaft 20, or wall 40 may define a non-circular chamber 42 that is sized to receive a non-circular shaft 20, for example. It is also within the scope of the present invention that shaft 20 may be retained within chamber 42 using a set screw or another suitable fastener.
[0025] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, cutting head 30 includes at least one viewing aperture 44 that extends entirely through body 31 of cutting head 30 so that the surgeon can view glenoid surface 110 when reamer 10 is positioned proximate glenoid 108. More particularly, the at least one viewing aperture 44 extends from first surface 32 to second bone-contacting surface 34 of cutting head 30. In the illustrated embodiment of Figure 3, a plurality of viewing apertures 44 are located radially inwardly of peripheral wall 36, the individual viewing apertures 44 being separated by radially spaced blades 54.
[0026] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, cutting head 30 includes first axis 50 that extends across the length L of cutting head 30 and through center 37 of cutting head 30. Cutting head 30 also includes second axis 52 that extends perpendicularly to first axis 50 across the width W of cutting head 30 and through center 37 of cutting head 30. First axis 50 may be considered a major axis of cutting head 30 and second axis 52 may be considered a minor axis of cutting head 30. As shown in Figure 2, first axis 50 and second axis 52 of cutting head 30 are located in a plane that is perpendicular to longitudinal axis 12 of reamer 10.
[0027] Referring still to Figures 2 and 3, the length L of cutting head 30 along first axis 50 is greater than the width W of cutting head 30 along second axis 52, such that cutting head 30 is oblong in shape. Stated differently, body 31 of cutting head 30 projects further outwardly from shaft 20 along first axis 50 than along second axis 52. Compared to known reamers that define a circular or square shape, the shortened width W of cutting head 30 along second axis 52 allows reamer 10 to be inserted through a narrow, less invasive incision 302 in soft tissue 300, as shown in Figure 6. This surgical benefit during insertion is achieved without impacting the span of cutting head 30 during subsequent reaming. When cutting head 30 is rotated about longitudinal axis 12 along
arrow R, cutting head 30 is still able to ream a circular pattern into glenoid surface 1 10, as if the width W of cutting head 30 were equal to the length L of cutting head 30, even though the width W of cutting head 30 is actually less than the length L of cutting head 30.
[0028] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, body 31 of cutting head 30 achieves this oblong shape with a smooth, arcuate peripheral wall 36. For example, body 31 of cutting head 30 may be provided in an oval shape about longitudinal axis 12 of reamer 10, such that peripheral wall 36 of body 31 defines a smooth outer surface of cutting head 30. As another example, body 31 of cutting head 30 may be provided in an elliptical shape about longitudinal axis 12 of reamer 10, such that peripheral wall 36 of body 31 defines a smooth outer surface of cutting head 30. It is also within the scope of the present invention that body 31 of cutting head 30 may be provided in a rectangular shape or a diamond shape, for example, preferably with smooth, rounded corners. In use, the smooth peripheral wall 36 of cutting head 30 may reduce the risk of damage to any healthy soft tissue that remains around glenoid 108.
[0029] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, cutting head 30 includes a plurality of radially spaced blades 54 that project downwardly from body 31 to define second bone- contacting surface 34. As discussed above, adjacent blades 54 may define viewing apertures 44 therebetween. Blades 54 extend radially outwardly from longitudinal axis 12 toward peripheral wall 36 of body 31 of cutting head 30.
[0030] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in Figure 3, each blade 54 defines an arcuate path as it travels outwardly from longitudinal axis 12 to peripheral wall 36 of body 31 of cutting head 30. Rather than extending linearly from longitudinal axis 12 to peripheral wall 36, each blade 54 curves rearwardly along arrow A (which extends clockwise in the bottom view of Figure 3) when approaching peripheral wall 36 of body 31. hi this embodiment, first axis 50 and/or second axis 52 may be axes of symmetry that divide body 31 of cutting head 30 into symmetrical halves, but not blades 54 of cutting head 30.
[0031] Each blade 54 includes a sharp cutting face 56 that contacts and cuts bone as cutting head 30 is rotated in the direction of arrow R (which extends clockwise in the top view of Figure 2 and counter-clockwise in the bottom view of Figure 3). According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, cutting face 56 of each blade 54 curves rearwardly in the direction of arrow A as it approaches peripheral wall 36, which is opposite to the direction of rotation of arrow R. As shown in Figure 3, cutting face 56 of each blade 54 curves to face outward (i.e., away from longitudinal axis 12 and center 37) as it approaches peripheral wall 36. As a result, force F that is normal to cutting face 56 extends outwardly from cutting head 30 (i.e., away from longitudinal axis 12 and center 37). It is within the scope of the present invention that each cutting face 56 may extend in a plane that is substantially parallel to longitudinal axis 12, or that each cutting face 56 may be ramped or angled relative to longitudinal axis 12.
[0032] As shown in Figure 3, cutting head 30 includes three blades 54a, 54a',
54a", that originate substantially above first axis 50 and three corresponding, opposing blades 54b, 54b', 54b", that originate substantially below first axis 50. Although cutting head 30 is shown and described having six blades 54, it is within the scope of the present invention that cutting head 30 may be provided with fewer than six blades 54 or more than six blades 54. Blades 54a", 54b", span across the longer length L of cutting head 30. Blades 54a, 54a', 54b, 54b', extend transversely to blades 54a", 54b", and span across the shorter width W of cutting head 30. For this reason, blades 54a", 54b", may be longer than blades 54a, 54a', 54b, 54b1.
[0033] Each blade 54a, 54a', 54a", is oriented approximately 180 degrees from its corresponding blade 54b, 54b', 54b", about center 37 of cutting head 30 and is substantially the same shape and size as its corresponding blade 54b, 54b', 54b". As shown in Figure 3, each blade 54a, 54a', 54a", cooperates with its corresponding blade 54b, 54b', 54b", to define an S-shaped cutting face 56. For example, blade 54a cooperates with its corresponding blade 54b to define an S-shaped cutting face 56. The balanced arrangement of blades 54a, 54a', 54a", 54b, 54b', 54b", about center 37 of cutting head 30 encourages self-centering of cutting head 30 and limits vibrations when cutting head 30 is rotated in the direction of arrow R.
[0034] In operation, and as shown in Figure 2, the surgeon inserts guide pin 120 into referencing bore 14 of reamer 10 and positions cutting head 30 of reamer 10 over guide pin 120 and against glenoid surface 110. Then, the surgeon rotates reamer 10 about guide pin 120 to remove any remaining cartilage from glenoid surface 110 and to substantially smooth and/or level the bone stock of glenoid 108. As mentioned above, the surgeon is able to view glenoid surface 110 through viewing apertures 44 in cutting head 30. When glenoid surface 110 is properly formed, the surgeon removes reamer 10 from glenoid surface 110. After all drilling and shaping steps are completed, the surgeon also removes guide pin 120 from glenoid surface 1 10.
[0035] Finally, the surgeon implants prosthetic glenoid component 200 into the prepared glenoid 108. As shown in Figure 5, prosthetic glenoid component 200 includes a concave articulating surface 202 that substantially replicates that of a healthy glenoid to restore normal joint function. It is also within the scope of the present invention that prosthetic glenoid component 200 may be part of a reverse shoulder implant system, such that the final prosthetic glenoid component 200 is a convex component designed to articulate with a concave prosthetic humeral component (not shown). Also, prosthetic glenoid component 200 includes a bone-contacting undersurface 204 that achieves intimate contact with the prepared glenoid surface 110.
[0036] To achieve an exemplary anatomical fit of prosthetic glenoid component
200 in the prepared glenoid 108, cutting head 30 of reamer 10 is provided to mimic the size and shape of prosthetic glenoid component 200. For example, the curvature of second bone-contacting surface 34 of body 31 of cutting head 30 is substantially the same as the curvature of undersurface 204 of prosthetic glenoid component 200. Also, the length L of body 31 of cutting head 30 along first axis 50 is substantially the same as the diameter D of prosthetic glenoid component 200.
[0037] While this invention has been described as having exemplary designs, the present invention can be further modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such
departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and which fall within the limits of the appended claims.
