Abstract
An acetabular reamer handle including a shaft having a distal end, a neck part having a longitudinal axis, a driveline extending through the shaft and the neck part, and a locking mechanism. A distally located head part of the driveline is mounted for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the neck part and is connectable to a reamer. The distal end of the shaft and a proximal end of the neck part are pivotally attached to allow the shaft to be tilted relative to the longitudinal axis. The tilting can allow part of the acetabulum and/or reamer that is otherwise obscured to be viewed. The locking mechanism includes an engagement member having an engagement surface located at the distal end of the shaft. The engagement member is moveable distally to urge the engagement surface against the proximal end of the neck part.
