A surgical tool adaptor includes a distal interface member and a proximal holder. The surgical tool adaptor is formed with a lumen through the distal interface member and the proximal holder for passing a guiding element (e.g., K-wire) distally through the distal interface member. The proximal holder includes a locking element for locking the guiding element in the lumen and the distal interface member includes a connecting element for connecting to a surgical tool. The proximal holder is movable relative to the distal interface member so that the proximal holder is movable to a position wherein the guiding element does not protrude proximally out of the proximal holder.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) assembly

A surgical tool adaptor includes a distal interface member and a handle. The distal interface member includes a connecting element for connecting to a surgical tool. A K-wire connector is disposed in a central passageway for receiving therethrough a K-wire. The K-wire connector includes a locking element for locking the K-wire. A clutch mechanism is operatively connected to the distal interface member and to the K-wire connector, wherein in a first orientation of the clutch mechanism, the distal interface member and the K-wire connector move together, and in a second orientation of the clutch mechanism, the distal interface member is declutched from the K-wire connector, so that in the first orientation movement of the handle moves the distal interface member and the K-wire connector together, and in the second orientation the distal interface member and the K-wire connector move independently of each other.

K-wire adaptor assembly

A surgical tool adaptor () includes a distal interface member () and a proximal holder (). The surgical tool adaptor is formed with a lumen () through the distal interface member and the proximal holder for passing a guiding element (), e.g. a K-wire, distally through the distal interface member. The proximal holder includes a locking element () for locking the guiding element in the lumen and the distal interface member includes a connecting element () for connecting to a surgical tool. The proximal holder is movable relative to the distal interface member so that the proximal holder is movable to a position wherein the guiding element does not protrude proximally out of the proximal holder.
