An instrument for preparing bone, the instrument comprising:
- a proximal broach having an outer surface and a canal extending through the length of the proximal broach;
- and
- a distal reamer coupled to the proximal broach such that distal reamer is adapted to rotate relative to the proximal broach.
A method of cutting a bone comprising:
- impacting a reaming broach into the bone, the reaming broach including a proximal broach having an outer surface and a canal extending through a length of the proximal broach and a distal reamer coupled to the proximal broach;
- once the reaming broach is fully seated in the bone, rotating the distal reamer relative to the proximal broach.
A method for cutting a bone comprising:
- assembling a distal reamer to a proximal broach, having an outer surface and a canal extending through a length of the proximal broach;
- impacting the assembled distal reamer and proximal broach into a bone;
- rotating the distal reamer relative to the proximal broach.
