ABSTRACT:
A reamer for reaming of a acetabulum during a minimally invasive procedure. Generally, the reamer, particularly the reamer head, can be inserted and removed through a substantially small incision without trauma to the tissue surrounding the incision. The reamer, generally includes a reaming or scraping portion, which are aligned substantially along a single meridian of a hemisphere. The reamer further includes stabilizing portions to assist in ensuring a selected reaming orientation. Also, protective wings assist in removing the reamer.
