There is disclosed a system and methods for debriding soft tissue from boneusing a high-pressure water debridement system. One embodiment includes acylindrical sleeve bounded by endcaps and having a drainage port positionedforeffluent drainage. A central shaft is configured to receive a bone segment andisdisposed along a longitudinal center of the sleeve and rotatively coupledbetweenthe endcaps. At least one high-pressure water nozzle is disposed on each sideofthe sleeve, each of which is positioned to impact the bone segment with ahigh-pressure water stream. A rotational actuator is configured to rotate thecentralshaft and the bone segment relative to the sleeve and the water nozzles suchthatwhen the high-pressure water nozzles are operational, the high-pressure waterstreams debride the bone segment. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
