Definitions
- This invention relates to the reamer cutting head for the surgical reamers used by surgeons during intrameduUary reaming and other orthopedic procedures requiring the internal enlargement of bone central canals.
- This fixation device is usually a rod or tube inserted into the correctly sized canal and held in place with screws.
- IntrameduUary reaming is generally performed with a rotary cutting tool attached to a flexible shaft.
- Reamer cutting tools are mounted permanently to a flexible shaft or are interchangeable by means of an interlocking dove tail slot.
- a wire rod Prior to the reaming process a wire rod is inserted into the central canal as a guide for the reamer.
- the reamer and shaft each have an axial bore concentric with the axis of rotation.
- the reamer is passed over the rod and feed into the canal for enlarging.
- the canal is enlarged incrementally with a series of reamers, which increase in diameter by .5 mm.
- a separate interchangeable cutter head or complete cutter head/ shaft assembly is required for each step. This requires that the reamer be extracted from the canal and slid off the guide wire.
- the next incremental cutter head or complete cutter head/ shaft assembly is then passed over the wire and advanced into the canal.
- the prior art cutting heads have been cylindrical, elliptical, ball or bullet shaped with a plurality of fluted spaced around the axis of rotation.
- Each flute has a cutting edge formed when a " V groove is machined along its axis from the front tip to the rear end of the cutter.
- straight or helical "V grooves are machined into the cutter in order to create a rake angle at the leading edge.
- This "V groove also serves as an area for chips and tissue after being cut from the internal surface of the bone canal.
- a cutter head is shown generally in U. S. Patent 4,706,659 (Matthews et. al.) and U. S. Patent 4,751,992 (DiPietrolo) as a cutting head on a shaft but does not refer to the design of the cutting head.
- Borzone et. al. U. S. Pat No 5,122,134
- the form of the "V" groove machined into the cutter creates the rake angle and cutting edge of the first flute and the trailing edge of the next adjacent flute.
- This "V" angle and depth with respect to the number of flutes required, a constant circumferential width along the cutting surface is formed.
- This constant circumferential width generally starts at the front tip and extends to the rear end of the cutter.
- Each of the flutes has a cutting edge and when rotated, forms the cutting surface of the reamer.
- This cutting surface has a ground relief angle to enable it to cut freely.
- prior art reamer heads have been concerned with cutter binding in the bone canal and cutter retraction after binding.
- the general configuration of prior art reamer heads have not addressed the problems of heat generation, cutter force, intrameduUary pressure and the quantity of cutter heads required to enlarge the intrameduUary canal.
- the invention provides a cutter head which reduces the cutting force.
- the cutter head increases the depth of cut or cutting length which can be obtained with the reamer head, thus reducing the number of reamers needed during the procedure, reducing hospital inventory cost, and reducing operative time of the procedure.
- the invention provides a cutter head which counter acts the tendency of a high helix angle cutter to dig in or cut into the bone without clearing away the produced chips or debris.
- the invention provides a cutter head which reduces the intrameduUary pressure ahead of the cutting head and reduce the risk of the patient developing vascular complications resulting from fat embolism.
- the invention provides a cutter head that reduces the tendency of cutters to faU to clear chips and debris and to bind up inside the bone canal.
- the body has a circumference and at least a pair of flutes, formed by grooves, extending in at least one pattern, a predetermined distance along the length.
- Each of the flutes has at least one tooth with each tooth having a crest and a base adjacent the flute.
- the pattern of the grooves can follow a first helical path along its length.
- the helical path can be substantially constant over a major portion of its entire length, in relation to the axes or can have a constantly changing path.
- a second pattern can follow a second, contiguous helical path that has a second radial orientation to the axis.
- the teeth can be formed from a sinusoidal wave form comprised of a continuous radius going from convex to concave, with each of the teeth having a predetermined pitch from the crest to the base.
- the crest the teeth on the first flute is offset axially by a predetermined distance from the teeth on the adjacent flutes. The offset can be determined by dividing the pitch on each flute by the number of flutes.
- the cutting head can, in an alternate embodiment, have a notch within each of the flutes.
- the notch forms a pair of teeth, the crests of each of the teeth can have either a substantially equal radius or a different radius, depending upon the placement of the notch.

- the prior art cutting head 1.01 has a conical shaped leading end 1.02 and a generally cylindrical trailing end 1.03.
- Another prior art cutting head is illustrated in FIG. 2, as disclosed in U. S. pat No 5 ,122,134, and generally denoted as 2.01.
- the '134 cutting head 2.01 has conical shaped leading edge 2.02 and a generally elliptical mid-section 2.03 and a conical shaped trailing edge 2.04.
- These prior art cutting devices have the problems that they create substantially heat as they cut.
- the prior art devices increase the diameter of each cutting head by small increments, generally about .05 mm.
- the disclosed cutting head reduces friction through the use of teeth along each of the flutes, thereby decreasing the force required and heat generated.
- Figure 3 shows a cutting head of the present invention generally denoted as 3.01.
- the cutting head 3.01 is rigidly connected to, or integral with, a drive shaft segment 3.02 which is coupled with, or integral to, a flexible shaft 3.03.

- the cutting head 3.01 of the present invention includes a plurality of flutes 3.05 separated by generally V-shaped grooves 3.06. that extend from a leading tip portion 3.07 to a trailing portion 3.08 about the axis of rotation.
- the flutes 3.05 can extend around the cutting head 3.01 in a fixed helical fashion, or in a constant variable helix around the axis of rotation. Alternatively, the flutes can extend parallel to the axis.
- Each of the flutes 3.05 has a series of machined fine pitched teeth 3.09, beginning at the leading tip 3.07 and extended to the trailing portion 3.08.
- the machining of the fine pitched teeth beginning anywhere between the leading tip and the major diameter of the cutter and extend to a predetermined point between the major diameter and the trailing portion.
- the cutting head 3J8 has a series of fine pitched teeth 3J9 machined along the major diameter of the cutting head and in a plane parallel to the axis of rotation of the cutting head.
- the tip 3 J 7 of the cutting head 3J8 is void of the pitched teeth 3J9. This embodiment is easy to manufacture and provides no disadvantages during use.
- the cross-sectional view 4 - 4 of the cutting head 3.01 of Figure 3 is illustrated in Figure 4.
- This figure more clearly illustrates the plurality of flutes 3.05 formed by the N- shaped grooves 3.06, thereby creating the cutting edge 4.04 and a trailing edge 4.05.
- the N-shaped grooves 3.06 are machined in such a way as to provide a radial rake angle 4.08 to form the cutting edge 4.04.
- various radial rake angles ranging from negative to positive, can be obtained. The variations and optimum angles are dependent upon use, equipment, etc., and will be known by those skilled in the art.
- Each of the flutes 3.05 has a width 4.07 that is determined by end use and can be modified by reducing the size of the V-shaped grooves 306 or increasing the diameter of the head 3.01. The size adjustments will be evident to those skilled in the art.
- a relief angle 4.06 is formed on the width 4.07, or circumference, of each flute 3.05.
- the relief angle 4.06 generally in the range of about 0 to 15 degrees, is preferably formed on the flutes 4.02 by machining to remove the desired amount of material from the circumference of each of the cutter flutes 4.02.
- the head can be initially molded to incorporate the appropriate dimensioning.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of the pitch of the designs of the rougher teeth 5.00.
- the rougher teeth 5.00 are designed with a sinusoidal or other wave form with a continuous radius going from a convex 5.01 to concave 5.02 to convex 5.03, etc. to produce fine pitch tooth like profile along the cutting edge of the flute.
- the distance from the crest of one convex tooth 5.01 to the next crest is known as the pitch 5.04.
- the pitch 5.04 By varying the radius of the convex and concave portions of the sinusoidal wave, different pitches and size of rougher teeth 5.00 can be produced.
- the pitch will remain constant, the pitch can be varied from flute to flue or even tooth to tooth.
- the rougher teeth 6.00 are staggered axially along the flute edge such that the pitch 6.01 on each flute is equally divided by the total number of flutes on the cutter.
- the pitch 6.01 on the first flute 6.02 is shown with its start 6.03 on the crest of the first tooth and with the end of the pitch 6.04 on the crest of the second tooth.
- the pitch 6.01 is shown divided into 4 equal spaces, for example, the number of flutes on this cutter.
- the crest of the second succeeding flute 6.05 is located axially along the cutter at a position ! of.the distance of the pitch 6.01.
- the crest of the third succeeding flute 6.06 is located axially along the cutter at a position ⁇ of the distance of the pitch 6.01.
- the crest of the fourth succeeding flute 6.07 is located axially along the cutter at a position % of the distance of the pitch 6.01.
- four flutes are used in this example, it should be noted that as few as two flutes can be used.
- the number of flutes is dependent upon the diameter of the cutting head and the depth of the V-groove. For example, cutting heads with a small diameter will use two to four flutes, while a medium diameter cutting head will contain up to about 8 flutes. Additional flutes will be used in larger diameter cutting heads and the number of additional flutes will be dependent on the diameter and end use. The dimensioning, depth of grooves and number of flutes will be evident to those skilled in the art.
- a cutting head 7.01 of the present invention that uses a variable helix angle within the head 7.01.
- a plurality of flutes 7.05 are separated by V-shaped grooves 7.02 that extend from the leading tip portion 7.03 to a trailing portion 7.04.
- the flutes 7.05 in this embodiment are machined with variable helix angles that, for purposes of illustration, are indicated by low helix section 7.06 and high helix section 7.07.
- the helix angles are formed by varying the machine angle of the slots 7.02.
- the low helix angle section 7.06 has a starting point at the leading end 7.03 and extends a predetermined axial distance towards the trailing end 7.04.
- the high helix angle section 7.07 progresses axially from the low helix end point 7.08 and extends axially towards and ending at the trailing end 7.04.
- the helix angles shown herein are 40 degrees and 60 degrees but any variation and combination of helix angles, from 0° to ⁇ 90° can be used.
- Using a low helix angle, ranging from 0 up to 45 degrees, along the low hehx section 7.03 will prevent the tendency of the cutter from catching and pulling into the bone. This high helix angle will clear the chips and debris from the cutter and act to prevent the chips from moving back into the bone on retraction of the cutter.
- Figure 8 shows a side view of the cutter head 8.01 of the present invention being passed over a guide wire 8.02, inserted into the intrameduUary canal 8.06 of a long bone 8.04.
- the bore 8.03 the intrameduUary canal 8.06 is enlarged.
- the roughing teeth on the flutes generate smaller chips, thereby reducing the torque required as well as heat generated by the cutting action.
- FIG. 9 there is shown a variation of the roughing teeth 6.00 shown in Figure 6.
- the groove area 9.04 configuration can be formed in various ways utilizing, straight edges and sharp angles, or radius corners and curved surfaces.
- the cutting head 11.01 of the present invention has a notched section 11.02 in each of the flutes to form the cutting edges, or teeth.
- This single notch serves to break down the bone chips into small pieces, as noted herein.
- the notch is centered within the length of the cutter 11.01, at the point of maximum diameter.
- the notch 12.02 is moved toward the leading tip creating teeth 12.03 and 12.01, each of which have a different radius.
- the crest of the tooth 12.03 wiU have a diameter, being at or about, the point of maximum diameter of the cutting head and have a larger diameter than the crest of the tooth 12.04.
- the difference between the crests of the two teeth 12.03 and 12.04 is shown herein as 12.05.
- the notches are formed by removing the material by machining or, alternatively the notches can be molded into the cutting head.
- Figure 13 shows a side view of a cutting head of the present invention inserted into the hip end 13.01 of the canal 13.02 of a long bone such as a femur 13.03.
- a guide wire 13.04 is initially inserted into the hip end 13.01 of the canal 13.02 and bridges the fracture area 13.05.
- the reamer cutter 13.06 and shaft 13.08 combination is inserted over the guide wire 13.04 and down the canal 13.02 towards the knee end 13.07, enlarging the canal 13.02 as it passing through the canal 13.02.
- next incremental size chosen is usually a reamer 0.5 mm larger, and repeating the process until a final bore is achieved.
- This process may mean changing reamers 9 to 10 times since the prior art reamer cutters utilize the small incremental diameter changes to reduce the size of the bone chips, torque loads and to reduce the heat generated by the cutting action against the canal wall.
- Prior art cutters rely on a short cutting edge on each flute to cut the bone chips, cutting only four chips per revolution from the bone. These chips tend to be long fragments and must be passed along the V grooves of the cutter and out of the bone canal.
- the disclosed invention utilizes the roughing teeth on the flutes to generate smaller chips, between 16 to 48 small chips per revolution. This cutting action reduces the torque required to cut the bone and creates smaller bone chips and debris and thus reduces the heat generated by the cutting action.
- the small bone fragments and debris are easily removed and can serve to benefit the healing process by filling in small voids in the fracture area to promote bone growth.
- cutter increments of from about 1 to about 2 mm can now be selected for reaming the canal. Further, since the design of the disclosed cutter enables a larger cutting length, the number of reamer interchanges is reduced from 8 or 10 to 3 or 4.
