Abstract

See full text

A milling system for creating a cavity in a bone includes a drive shaft, a frame for carrying a cutter and a cutter for cutting the cavity. The drive shaft has a proximal end and a distal end forming a portion of a drive joint for coupling the drive shaft to a cutter. The frame includes a frame shaft and a cutter mount, mounting a cutter at a first angle. The mount includes a bearing bracket extending laterally from the frame shaft to a bearing receiving a portion of a cutter and maintains the received cutter oriented at the first angle during rotation. The cutter has a head forming a portion of drive joint for coupling the cutter to a drive shaft. The cutter is received in the mount at the first angle and the drive shaft forms a second angle with the longitudinal axis less than the first angle.
