Abstract
A tool and method of reaming one or more oblong cross-sectional sections of the femoral canal. The tool may include a reamer sized to be axially inserted into the canal and to be laterally pivoted within the canal. The tool may further include a guide to protect a proximal section of the femur. The guide also includes a channel through which the reamer is inserted to control an extent of movement of the reamer.
