Abstract:
A device (100) and method (1200) for autogenous bone grafting simultaneously cuts a cross-section of a bone (212), both longitudinally with a longitudinal cutting member (104), and transversely with a saw (140) during a bone drilling procedure to obtain a bone block (214) for repairing and rebuilding diseased bones. The device (100) is hand-controllable to selectively cut internally to the device (100), so as to cut captured bone (212) for internal bone harvesting. The device (100) also selectively cuts surrounding bone (212) outside the device (100) for external bone harvesting. The saw (140) is biased to stow in a wall space (120) when not in use, and rotate along a perpendicular plane (202) inwardly or outwardly for internal or external cutting of the bone (212), respectively. The saw (140) rotatably extends inwardly to support and carry the bone block (214) after a longitudinal section has been cut. The saw (140) rotatably extends outwardly from the device (100) to release the bone block (214) after the bone grafting procedure.
