An orthopaedic reamer guide is a surgical tool used to precisely direct the cutting action of a reamer during bone preparation. It ensures accurate resection of bone—such as at joint surfaces or within the intramedullary canal—before fitting a prosthetic implant, like a knee or shoulder replacement.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel, and come in various sizes to match different anatomical sites. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk and intended use, with oversight ensuring safety and performance in orthopaedic procedures.
