Patent ID: 8425518

Claim:
A bone reaming device comprising: a first shaft extending along an axis; a head having an outer surface; a second shaft coupled to the head, the second shaft being rotatable with respect to the first shaft and being capable of rotatably driving the head with respect to the first shaft; an ablation device comprising at least one ablation wire, the ablation device being movable with respect to the head and the ablation wire being capable of protruding at least partially beyond the outer surface of the head through a through hole within the head, wherein a protruding amount of the ablation wire protruding beyond the outer surface of the head is variable by using a remote actuation device so that the geometry is remotely modifiable; and a third shaft being coupled to the ablation device, wherein the third shaft is axially moveable and capable of modifying the variable geometry of the protruding amount of the ablation wire protruding beyond the surface of the head.
