Abstract:
Reciprocating rasps for the surgical preparation of the bone prior to the implantation of a glenoid or acetabular component with complex geometry are disclosed. Surgical methods for the use of such reciprocating rasps are also disclosed. Some of the methods include inserting a guide pin into the glenoid of the patient, advancing a reciprocating surgical rasp over the guide pin, reciprocating the surgical rasp so as to abrade bone tissue to form a cavity shaped to receive the glenoid component, and implanting the glenoid component in the cavity.

Claim (Index 16):
The reciprocating rasp surgical instrument of  claim 11 , wherein the cutting surface includes:\n a lead cutting section formed at the end of the wedge-shaped body, a pair of planar cutting sections extending from the planar edges of the base to the lead cutting section, and a pair of curved cutting sections extending from the curved edges of the base to the lead cutting section, the curved cutting sections joining the planar cutting sections.
