Hollow Reamer

Also called Extraction reamer, Reverse trephine

Official 1 photo

A hollow tube with saw teeth around its cutting end and a side window near the tip; a tapered left-handed thread inside the tube grips the screw. It is turned counterclockwise around a broken screw shaft, by T-handle chuck or power tool, cutting a thin ring of bone until the inner thread catches the screw and unscrews it.

Primary uses

What this instrument is on the table to do.

Removing a broken or deep-seated screw shaft. The surgeon first enlarges the hole with a countersink, then drills counter-clockwise around the shaft with the hollow reamer, and finally removes the shaft with an extraction bolt or pliers.
