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 comprising a first portion connected to a second portion of the first end by a hinge, an inner surface of the first portion and an inner surface of the second portion defining a cavity, the first portion having an opening and the second portion having a tab configured for disposal in the opening to fix the first portion with the second portion,
• a pivoting member movably disposed in the cavity;
• the pivoting member including a first inner surface, the first inner surface defining a first passageway;
• a first end of the pivoting member comprising a ball and a second end of the pivoting member comprising a collet, the collet having a threaded outer surface;
• a cap having a threaded inner surface configured to engage the threaded outer surface of the collet, and
• a second member disposed within the first passageway, the second member including a second inner surface, the second inner surface defining a second passageway, the second passageway being configured to include therein one of an inflatable bone tamp, a bone void filler, and a tool adapted to deliver a bone void filler;
• creating an access path to a defect in a bone;
• inserting the second end of the first member through the access path;
• inserting the second member into the passageway;
• moving the cap relative to the collet such that the threaded inner surface of the cap engages the threaded outer surface of the collet and the second member is fixed within the passageway;
• rotating the pivoting member to a selected trajectory relative to the longitudinal axis such that a distal end of the second member is positioned adjacent the bone defect;
• and
• moving the first portion relative to the second portion such that the tab is disposed in the opening to fix the second member in the selected trajectory.
