Quick summary
This DePuy Summit tapered reamer is a surgical bone reamer used in hip procedures. The 31 reports mostly describe instruments that were worn down or blunt and would not cut, twisted or bent, and fittings that did not match other drill attachments, so surgeons sometimes had to ream by hand. No deaths or injuries were reported, and most cases noted no effect on the patient. No recalls name this device.
