Claim 21:
22. An instrument for reaming bone, comprising:
a reamer head including a distal-facing cutting surface configured to cut bone;
a depth-stop having a body with an inner surface and an outer surface and a pair of spaced apart arms;
an elongate body having a proximal end, a distal end configured to selectively couple to the reamer head, an inner throughbore extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the elongate body, and a recessed portion configured to couple with the depth-stop; and
a drive shaft configured to extend through the inner throughbore of the elongate body and selectively couple to the reamer head such that rotation of the drive shaft causes rotation of the reamer head,
wherein the reamer head is configured to couple to the distal end of the elongate body such that a longitudinal axis of the reamer head extends at an oblique angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the inner throughbore of the elongate body, and
wherein the arms of the depth-stop are configured to contact an outer surface of the elongate body and mate with the recessed portion of the elongate body such that at least a portion of the depth-stop body inner surface opposes the distally-facing cutting surface of the reamer head.
