Abstract:
A surgical method for forming a void in bone includes the steps of positioning a support member securely within an intramedullary canal of a bone; attaching a guide member having a longitudinal axis to the support member in a fixed and offset relation to the intramedullary canal; connecting a cutting member having a cutting head to the guide member in a slidable arrangement along the longitudinal axis of the guide member such that the cutting head faces a first bone segment; and cutting the first bone segment along the longitudinal axis of the guide member, thereby forming a first offset bone void.

A method of implant a knee prosthesis includes forming a bone void at an end of a bone, implanting a void filler in the bone void, and implanting a knee prosthesis onto the end of the bone so that a stem of the knee prosthesis is received by the void filler.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for shaping and filling offset bone voids during revision procedures of total knee replacements are disclosed. The systems disclosed herein generally include an intramedullary reamer, an offset driver, a cylindrical reaming tool, an offset reaming guide, and a conical reamer. An alternate embodiment of the system may also generally include an IM reamer, an offset driver, an offset broaching tool, and a second stage broaching tool. Yet another embodiment may generally include an elongate IM reamer, a cone reamer, a reamer guide shaft, a cone trial, a sizing template, a template guide, an offset lobe reamer, and offset lobe reamer retainer. Metaphyseal reconstruction devices and void filling cones can be used to fill the bone voids in conjunction with the systems and methods disclosed herein.
