A surgical device () for extraction of a prosthetic component from a patient during surgery. The surgical device comprises a first component () having a female coupling portion at a first end, and a second end configured to be connected to one of a prosthetic component or a surgical extraction instrument. The first component further includes a retainer. The surgical device further comprises a second component () with a first end defining a male coupling portion, a stem () extending from the male coupling portion, and a second end configured to be connected to the other of the prosthetic component or the surgical extraction instrument. The male coupling portion of the second component is configured to be disposed within the female coupling portion of the first component and retained within the female coupling portion by the retainer, with the stem of the second component extending away from the female coupling portion of the first component. The male coupling portion of the second component and the retainer of the first component are configured such that the male coupling portion is held in the female coupling portion while allowing articulation of the first component relative to the second component. The first and second components form an articulating joint allowing a user to connect the surgical extraction instrument to the prosthetic component in a patient, articulate a portion of the surgical extraction instrument which resides external from the operating site, and transfer extraction forces to enable removal of the prosthetic component from the patient.

Impactor tip

There invention relates to a handle () for coupling to orthopaedic surgical instruments used in joint arthroplasty. The handle is universal. The handle comprises a body () having a proximal end (), a distal end (), and an open-ended channel () extending between the distal end and the proximal end. The channel is configured for receiving a shaft of a first orthopaedic instrument () such that the shaft extends completely through the handle, and the handle is in a sliding relationship with the shaft. The channel is also configured for separately and independently receiving a handle-attachment portion located at a proximal end of a second orthopaedic surgical instrument () such that the handle and the second orthopaedic surgical instrument are held in a fixed relationship.

Neck resection guide

The invention provides a surgical device for performing a controlled resection of the neck of a femur during a hip replacement procedure. The surgical device comprises a body portion having: a frame comprising an aperture dimension for receipt of a femoral head of the femur to position the body portion with respect to a centre of the femoral head; a resection guide for indicating a position of a resection plane on the femoral neck, and an arm extending between the frame and the resection guide. The body portion includes a linear alignment surface for alignment with a femoral shaft axis of the femur while the frame is mounted on the anterior or posterior aspect of the femoral head.
