Patent abstract
A surgical instrument employs a mass-spring system to drive the periodic reversal of the rotational direction of a bone dissection head. The instrument comprises a housing, a harmonic oscillator contained in the housing, an output member at least partially received in the housing and configured to be driven by the harmonic oscillator to reversibly rotate about a longitudinal axis in alternating directions, a dissection head having an attachment portion configured to be selectively driven in alternating rotational directions by the output member to remove material from a target bone, and a controller operable to initiate and stop the harmonic oscillator.
