摘要

PURPOSE: A force applying surgical system is provided for use to assist in the insertion and/or removal of a surgical tool or a device attached thereto from an orthopaedic structure CONSTITUTION: The surgical system(10) includes a medical impacting device(12) that mates with a surgical tool(26) such that the impacting device(12) is manually reciprocated along an axis(L) of the tool(26) to forcefully impact the impacting device(12) on a portion of the tool(26). The impacting device(12) generates a distally directed force for inserting the tool(26) (and/or an attached device) into an orthopaedic structure, or it generates a proximally directed force to remove the tool(26) (and/or an attached device) from an orthopaedic structure.
