Abstract
An impaction handle for use during a surgical procedure to implant a tibial tray into a surgically-prepared proximal end of a tibia includes an impact plate defining a proximal end of the impaction handle and an impact head defining a distal end of the impaction handle. The impaction handle also has an elongated shaft extending between the impact plate and the impact head, along with a locking mechanism to lock the handle to the tibial tray. The impact plate, the impact head, the elongated shaft, and the locking mechanism of the impaction handle collectively define a single monolithic metallic component.
