Abstrakt: "Especially in the case where it is necessary to recondition a previously implanted knee prosthesis, the creation of a bone seating, for the application of suitable support cones, first requires that a hole is made, with one or more boring devices of increasing diameter, and subsequently that the hole is shaped with a suitable milling device. "It is also known that when, due to the pathologies as above, the spongy part of the bone is unable to support the prosthesis, it is necessary to create appropriate bone seatings for the implantation of a bone or metal filler that acts as a support for the prosthesis. "In accordance with the above purposes, the guided milling device for prosthetic surgery comprises a milling tool rotating about a milling axis, and a handling body having a drive rotating rod which develops along a longitudinal axis of linear rotation.
