Abstract
An implant removal tool used to remove a femoral implant from a femur bone by providing a substantially U-shaped body having a substantially rectangular-shaped opening located thereon that allows the substantially U-shaped body to be placed over a neck of a femoral implant so a sharpened front edge of the substantially U-shaped body makes direct contact with an inner surface of the stem of the femoral implant. The U-shaped body may have front side edges that extend beyond a front edge to allow the front side edges to cut anterior and posterior surface of the implant.
