Claims16
An orthopaedic surgical instrument for use with an acetabular implant, the orthopaedic surgical instrument comprising:
- an elongated body extending from a first end to a second end, wherein the first end is configured to be received by an automated surgical impactor;
- a slideable bolt comprising a head and a threaded body positioned at the second end of the elongated body, wherein the threaded body extends outward from the second end of the elongated body;
- a carrier slideably coupled to the elongated body, wherein a notch defined in the carrier engages the head of the slideable bolt;
- an elongated lever that extends from a pivot end to a latch end, wherein the pivot end is pivotally coupled to the elongated body;
- a leaf spring having a first end that is pivotally coupled to the lever and a second end that is pivotally coupled to the carrier such that movement of the lever causes movement of the carrier;
- and
- a pushbutton catch coupled to the elongated body;
- wherein the lever is movable between a first position in which the latch end is spaced apart from the elongated body and a second position in which the latch end is captured by the pushbutton catch, wherein in the second position the leaf spring urges the carrier inward away from the implant end, and wherein in the second position the carrier pulls the head of the bolt inward away from the implant end.
