ABSTRACT:
A milling instrument assembly is provided for vertebral endplate preparation along a cutting path obliquely oriented to the axis of approach to the vertebra. The milling instrument assembly provides control of the anterior-posterior depth of endplate removal by guiding cutting assembly in the disc space as it moves transversely across a housing assembly. Methods and techniques are included for using the milling instrument assembly in spinal surgery.
