Bone resection method by plunge milling and rasping during total ankle arthroplasty

A device comprising:

• a handle;
• and
• a rasp coupled to the handle, wherein the rasp includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface,
• wherein a portion of the top surface includes a first rough surface,
• wherein a portion of the first side surface includes a second rough surface,
• wherein a portion of the second side surface includes a third rough surface,
• wherein a first smooth curved surface separates the first rough surface from the second rough surface,
• wherein a second smooth curved surface separates the first rough surface from the third rough surface,
• wherein the first and second curved surfaces are configured to limit a rasping depth,
• wherein the first rough surface comprises a first plurality of spikes each including a corresponding peak,
• wherein a distance between a top portion of the first smooth surface and the bottom surface is at least as great as a maximum distance between the peaks of the first plurality of spikes and the bottom surface, and
• wherein a diameter of the first smooth curved surface ranges from about 0.5 to about 6.0 mm, and wherein a diameter of the second smooth curved surface ranges from about 0.5 to about 6.0 mm.
