Abstract
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.
