Surgical tools and robotic systems adaptable for treating a left side or a right side of a patient with minimal interference with the patient and surrounding operative site are disclosed. In some embodiments, a surgical tool can include a body, an end-effector, a first connector, a second connector, and a third connector. The end-effector can extend from a distal end of the body and be movable relative to the body about a pivot axis. The first connector can rigidly secure the body to a planar mechanism. The second and third connectors can rigidly secure a distal part and a proximal part of a tracker, respectively, to the body. The first and second connectors can be symmetrical to each other with respect to a plane including a longitudinal axis of the body and the pivot axis and can be suited for attachment of either the tracker or the planar mechanism.

Surgical tool and robotic system comprising such a surgical tool

A multi-function impactor for use with an orthopaedic implant, such as a knee joint, is described. The head of the impactor has a pair of curved recesses for mating with condylar parts of a femoral implant and flat faces for mating with a tibial implant. An extended formation is also provided for use with the inter-condylar notch of the femoral implant. A v-shaped notch in the extended formation is also provided to impact a tibial insert. The impactor can be made from a single moulded plastics part.
