Device for performing a surgical procedure and method

A method for treating a bone defect, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a device comprising:
• a first member extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, the first end including an inner surface defining a conduit extending transverse to the longitudinal axis, the conduit including a first portion and a second portion defining a first chamber,
• a cap having an inner surface including a first section configured to engage an outer surface of the first member and a second section defining a second chamber extending transverse to the longitudinal axis, the second chamber being in communication with the first chamber when the cap engages the first member such that the first and second chambers define a cavity, and
• a pivoting member movably disposed in the cavity and including an inner surface defining a passageway;
• creating an access path to a defect in a bone;
• inserting the second end of the first member through the access path;
• inserting a second member into the passageway;
• and
• engaging the cap with the first member.

A device for holding a surgical tool comprising:

• a first member extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, the first end including an inner surface defining a conduit extending transverse to the longitudinal axis, the conduit including a first portion and a second portion defining a first chamber having a hemispherical configuration, the first portion being tapered between a first end and a second end, the second portion extending from the second end of the first portion;
• a cap having an inner surface including a threaded first section configured to engage a threaded outer surface of the first member and a second section defining a second chamber having a hemispherical configuration and extending transverse to the longitudinal axis, the second chamber being in communication with the first chamber when the cap engages the first member such that the first chamber is continuous with the second chamber and the first and second chambers define a spherical cavity, the second section including a projection extending parallel to the longitudinal axis;
• a pivoting member movably disposed in the cavity and including an inner surface defining a passageway, the pivoting member including a first end comprising a ball, a second end comprising a collet and a recess between the ball and the collet configured for disposal of the projection when the cap engages the first member;
• and
• a second member disposed within the passageway, the second member including an inner surface defining a second passageway having an inflatable bone tamp or a bone void filler disposed therein.
