Abstract
A dual-bladed surgical saw and methods of use are described. A preferred embodiment of the dual-bladed surgical saw include a saw body having a blade assembly attached thereto, the blade assembly being positioned about a rotational axis. A first blade is radially spaced about the rotational axis, extending outwardly from the blade assembly substantially parallel to the rotational axis, and terminating at a first cutting surface. A second blade is radially spaced about the rotational axis, extending outwardly from the blade assembly parallel to the rotational axis, and terminating at a second cutting surface. An oscillator mechanism is coupled to the first and second blades for simultaneously reciprocating the first and second blades. The first blade is independently rotatable relative to the second blade about the rotational axis for defining a predetermined cutting angle between the first blade and second blade.
