Abstract
An assembly tool for assembly of a first component of a prosthesis to a second component of the prosthesis. The tool includes a housing defining a housing longitudinal axis thereof. An internal component is also provided and is connected to the second component and includes an actuating device and an actuator rod defining a second longitudinal axis that is coexistent with the housing longitudinal axis. The internal component is adapted to provide relative motion of the internal component with respect to the housing when the actuating device is moved relative to the housing in at least a direction transverse to the housing longitudinal axis and the actuator rod of the internal component is moved relative to the housing in a direction parallel to the housing longitudinal axis.
