The present invention provides an orthopaedic reamer handle that includes a reamer portion configured to transmit torque to a reamer head, a driver portion connected to the reamer portion that is configured to receive and transmit torque from a driver, and a drive train connecting the reamer portion to the driver portion to transmit torque from the driver portion to the reamer portion. The drive train includes a first drive shaft that defines a first axis and is connected to the driver portion at a first end and to a first intermediate connector at a second end. An offsetting member is connected to a second intermediate end of the first intermediate connector at an acute angle relative to the first axis and defines a second axis. The offsetting member connects to the reamer portion via a second intermediate connector at an acute angle relative to the second axis.

An orthopaedic impactor includes an elongate member having an interface end; an impact head connected to the elongate member; an implant interface held at the interface end that is configured to connect to an acetabular cup; and a securing mechanism attached to the elongate member that includes an actuator and a pressing member at least partly covering the implant interface. The pressing member is connected to the actuator and slidable relative to the implant interface. The actuator is configured to slide the pressing member along the implant interface.

An adjustable rongeur includes a first handle portion pivotally connected to a second handle portion. A shank is connected to the first handle portion at a proximal end of the shank, wherein the shank has a footplate at a distal end thereof. A crossbar is slidably engaged with the shank, wherein the crossbar is connected to the second handle portion, wherein a cutting opening is formed between a distal end of the crossbar and the footplate of the shank. An opening selection actuator is positioned within at least one of the first and second handle portion, wherein the opening selection actuator engages between the first and second handle portions to control a length of the cutting opening.

An orthopedic reamer connector includes a base shaped to allow for connection of an orthopedic reamer having a connection surface and being configured to rotatably connect to a rotary actuator; two pairs of holders associated with the connection surface that each have a first holder and a second holder that forms an acute angle relative to said first holder. The first holders are opposed to each other by about 180 degrees and the second holders are opposed to each other by about 180 degrees. A pair of stops are associated with each of the two pairs of holders. Each pair of stops has a first stop associated with the first holder and a second stop associated with the second holder.

The present invention provides an orthopedic reamer handle that includes a reamer portion configured to transmit torque to a reamer head, a driver portion connected to the reamer portion that is configured to receive and transmit torque from a driver, and a drive train connecting the reamer portion to the driver portion to transmit torque from the driver portion to the reamer portion. The drive train includes a first drive shaft that defines a first axis and is connected to the driver portion at a first end and to a first intermediate connector at a second end. An offsetting member is connected to a second intermediate end of the first intermediate connector at an acute angle relative to the first axis and defines a second axis. The offsetting member connects to the reamer portion via a second intermediate connector at an acute angle relative to the second axis.

A polyaxial tool, including an elongate body defining a first end, a second and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween; the elongate body defining a cavity at the first end; a plurality of arcuate gear teeth circumferentially arranged in the cavity and movable with respect to the elongate body; a socket coupled to the housing and coaxial with the plurality of gear teeth; and a handle coupled to the second end, where an angular position of at least one of the elongate body and handle is adjustable with respect to the plurality of gear teeth.

A polyaxial driver system for inserting and setting the angular orientation of an implant includes an elongated component and a distal component. The elongated component extends along a main axis and includes an elongated tubular sheath and an elongated shaft disposed within the tubular sheath. The distal component is pivotally connected to a distal end of the elongated shaft and includes a tubular body extending along the main axis and a spherical head dimensioned to fit and move freely within the tubular body. A proximal end of the elongated shaft includes a first set of outer threads and a proximal end of the elongated tubular sheath includes inner threads shaped and dimensioned to engage the first set of outer threads of the elongated shaft. Rotating the elongated tubular sheath clockwise or counter-clockwise moves the elongated shaft forward or backward along the main axis, respectively.

System and method for a lockable polyaxial driver tool

A ratchet tool, including a shaft defining a longitudinal axis; a handle coaxial to the shaft; a first gear immovably fixed to the shaft and disposed in the handle; a second gear rotatably and longitudinally movable with respect to the shaft, where the second gear engages the first gear to limit torque transfer from the handle to the shaft in a first direction and provides substantially zero torque transfer in a second direction; a first spring disposed between the second gear and the handle; a third gear rotatably and longitudinally movable with respect to the shaft, where the third gear engages the first gear to limit torque transfer from the handle to the shaft in the second direction and provides substantially zero torque transfer in the first direction; and a second spring disposed between the third gear and the handle.
