Abstract
An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly including a handle and a plurality of surgical tools configured to be selectively coupled with the handle. The handle includes a housing and a lever moveably coupled to the housing. Each surgical tool of the plurality of surgical tools includes a first clamping element and a second clamping element configured to move relative to the first clamping element. The second clamping element is configured to be coupled to the lever such that moving the lever relative to the housing advances the second clamping element toward the first clamping element to clamp a bone of a patient.
