Abstract:
A bone fusion system and method is disclosed. The system includes a bone mill having at least one docking station that is located at a position other than where a user inserts bone to be morcellated into the bone mill. This allows, for example, a surgeon to deposit morcellated bone onto a desired location on a patient's spine immediately after the bone is morcellated. The bone mill can include two or more docking stations having different sizes so that a surgeon can couple differently sized syringes to the bone mill. This allows, for example, morcellated bone to be deposited at two or more locations immediately after the bone is morcellated. A hand held retractor having a serrated tip is included so that a surgeon can simultaneously retract a patient's muscle bundles while decorticating a recipient bed.
