Further, thanks to the relatively small mass, relatively very light die groups can be realised which are therefore easily movable and manipulatable in a mechanised way. Further, the necessary equipment can be relatively inexpensive.

A surgical bone milling instrument, suited to operate in a hole formed in a bone, comprising a milling element (10), with longitudinal axis (A) and with the forward end portion (11) rotating around a longitudinal axis (A), and milling the bone. The instrument comprises a tubular element (30) of circular external cross-section and provided with a thread engaging, by helical coupling, a hole formed in the bone. The milling element (10) is associated with the tubular element (30), arranged so that the forward end portion (11) thereof is located ahead of the tubular element (30) andcan rotate around the longitudinal axis (A) thereof and translate axially relative to the tubular element (30). The milling element (10) has a rear portion (14) which passes coaxially through the tubular element (30), while the forward end portion (11) projects beyond the front of the tubular element (30). The milling procedure of a bone cavity can be completed while maintaining control of the position of the device relative to the hole. Furthermore, in each phase in which the milling element is rotated, while the instrument is axially stationary inside the hole, a groove is created on the end of the hole (or an extension of the entire hole) the depth of which is constant and predetermined. Further, by way of axial pressure applied to the milling head by the drive element, a detachment of residual bone wall can be achieved as soon as this has reached a breaking resistance which is lower than a force applied by the drive element.
A surgical bone milling instrument, for operating in a hole formed in a bone, comprising a milling element (10) having a longitudinal axis (A) and a forward portion rotating around an axis (A) for milling bone. The instrument comprises an elongate probe element (20) located internally of and being coaxial with a milling element (10), and sliding longitudinally through the milling element (19), with a forward portion projecting relative to a forward portion of the milling element (10). Means are provided for axially pushing the probe element (20), with the forward portion thereof being made to project beyond the forward portion of the milling element (10). With the invention it is possible to complete the milling procedure of a bone hole, maintaining control of the position of the device relative to the hole. The action of the probe element enables an operator to perceive, also visually, the moment in which the milling head of the instrument reaches the end of a previously- formed hole, or the end of the cavity excavated by the milling head. Operations of further axial advance of the milling head can be monitored with the probe element. Furthermore, by way of axial pressure applied to the probe element, the detachment of the residual bone wall can be achieved as soon as this has reached a breaking resistance lower than the force applied by the probe element.
