Abstract: Orthopedic procedures, such as total hip replacement and/or other surgical procedures, involve the retraction and distraction of bone and tissue in order to reduce prosthesis components, such as a femoral head prosthesis, into place during surgery and to perform other surgical techniques, such as reaming of the acetabulum. An instrument handle that allows for enhanced control of surgical instruments and other tools that involve the application of directional force includes a grip, an extension arm and a support brace that is configured to contact a user's forearm during a surgical procedure. A multiple-tool receptor may also be included that allows for the removable and interchangeable use of tools in connection with the instrument handle. The system described herein allows for deep distraction without angulation using larger muscles or even one's body.
