Abstract
A chuck for a powered surgical impactor can include a first body insertable into the powered surgical impactor and defining a first bit bore, a second body adapted to receive the first body; and a third body receivable at least partially within the second body and defining a second bit bore. The third body can define a lock projection extending radially inward into the second bit bore; and the third body and the second body can be adapted to rotate relative to the first body to move the lock projection between an unlocked position, in which the lock projection is located to allow insertion of a surgical instrument into the chuck, and an unlocked position, in which the lock projection is located to prevent removal of the surgical instrument from the chuck.
