Abstract
An orthopaedic prosthetic inserter used for the implantation of double mobility implants is described. The inserter consists of a drive train, a C-shaped housing, and a prosthetic cup grabbing subassembly. The subassembly comprises a frustro-conical nose and an expandable dome. When activated by the drive train, the dome expands into the cup of the prosthetic to manipulate the prosthetic during implantation.
