Surgical bone rasp having flattened medial teeth

A surgical bone rasp, comprising:

• a body defining a longitudinal axis in a proximal-distal direction and having posterior, anterior, medial, and lateral surfaces,
• the medial surface including a distal straight portion devoid of teeth and a proximal curved portion shaped to extend substantially along a concave medial curve,
• the proximal curved portion including a plurality of teeth, each tooth including a tooth gullet wall, a tooth undercut, and a tooth land between the proximal and tooth undercuts,
• wherein the plurality of teeth have a plurality of depths, oriented orthogonal to the concave medial curve, that increase gradually from a distal end of the proximal curved portion to a proximal end of the proximal curved portion, and
• wherein, for the plurality of teeth:
• the tooth gullet walls are parallel to one another and are angled to extend away from the body between a distal direction and a medial direction,
• the tooth lands are generally flat and extend along the concave medial curve, and
• the tooth undercuts are parallel to one another, are angled to extend away from the body in a medial direction, and are equally spaced apart along the longitudinal axis.

• wherein the plurality of teeth have a plurality of depths, oriented orthogonal to the concave medial curve, that increase gradually from a distal end of the proximal curved portion to a proximal end of the proximal curved portion to maintain the equal spacing of the tooth undercuts as an orientation of the concave medial curve changes.
