ABSTRACT:
A device for preparing the ends of bones includes an elongated handle and at least one rasping head connected to the handle. The rasping head has first and second surfaces and rasping teeth which extend outwardly from the first surface. The ends of a pair of bones which form a joint are separated, and the rasping head is inserted between the end of the bones. One of the bones is forced against the second surface of the rasping head to force the rasping teeth against the end of the other bone, and the handle is moved back and forth through a limited arc to rotate the rasping teeth over the end of the other bone to prepare the end of the bone.
