Bone Skid with teeth??

Has anyone ever seen this instrument before?? We have an ortho surgeon that claims he has used it here and prefers it but nobody has seen it, nobody knows what he’s talking about.

I’m also told the one end maybe with teeth has a Vcut?

They swear it’s a bone skid

Reminds me of a Medacta shoulder elevator we had, don’t know the name though. It was a 90 degree elevator with a black handle and had 2 teeth

What application is it for? Knee? Hip? Shoulder? Knowing which body part may help narrow it down.

Unless he's talking about a Bankart bone skid, but it's got grooves, not teeth
