Abstract
An orthopedic surgical instrument that includes an elongated body having a longitudinal axis extending through a distal end and a proximal end, and a plurality of cutting teeth are extending from a medial side of the elongated body. Each cutting tooth includes a first curved medial edge, and a curved outer surface that extends distally from the first curved medial edge to a second curved medial edge. When the instrument is viewed in a coronal plane, the curved outer surface of each medial cutting tooth extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body.
