Claims19
An orthopedic system comprising:
- an implantable body with an internal bore extending through the body, wherein the implantable body is sized and shaped so as to be insertable into a bore formed in bone, the implantable body being threaded, having an external projection configured to engage bone, or being configured to be press-fit into the bore formed in the bone to secure the implantable body in the bone;
- and
- a reamer having a cutting surface and a shaft, wherein the shaft is insertable into the internal bore of the body for guiding the reamer during reaming of a bone.
An orthopedic system comprising:
- an implantable body with an internal bore extending through the body and having at least one cutout comprising a channel extending along a sidewall of the implantable body;
- a reamer having a cutting surface and a shaft, wherein the shaft is insertable into the internal bore of the body for guiding the reamer during reaming of a bone;
- an inserter configured to attach to the implantable body and configured to drive the implantable body into a bore formed in the bone, wherein the inserter includes a shaft, an attachment head with a diameter greater than a diameter of the shaft, wherein the attachment head includes a bore sized to receive the bushing and at least one arm sized and shaped to be insertable into the at least one cutout of the implantable body, wherein the attachment head is configured to engage the implantable body and lock the implantable body to the inserter both longitudinally and rotationally;
- and
- a second reamer having a bore configured to receive the shaft of the inserter therein.
