Abstract
A bone plug compression instrument that can be used to reshape includes a first compression element having a first cavity, a second compression element having a second cavity, and a base portion for supporting the first and second compression elements. The second compression element moves between first and second positions. In the first position, the bone plug compression instrument forms an open configuration, in which the first and second cavities are spaced apart from each other allowing the bone plug in a substantially non-compressed state to be inserted in a space between the first and second cavities In the second position, the bone plug compression instrument forms a closed configuration, in which the first and second cavities press against each other to form a combined cavity for compressing the bone plug received in the combined cavity. The combined cavity has at least a partially converging shape.
