Abstract
A system includes a hollow reamer and an alignment instrument. The alignment instrument includes a shaft contoured to receive the hollow reamer such that the hollow reamer is translatable therealong. The alignment instrument further includes an articulation component coupled to the distal end of the shaft and a stem coupled to the articulation component. The shaft is configured to articulate relative to the articulation component. Further, the shaft includes a movable component configured to transition the alignment instrument between an unlocked state and a locked state via contact between the movable component and the articulation component. In the unlocked state, the articulation component is configured to articulate with respect to the shaft. In the locked state, the articulation component is configured to be fixed relative to the shaft.
