Abstract: An orthopedic impacting tool comprises a motor, a linear motion converter, an air chamber, a compression piston, a striker, a detent and a broach adapter. The compression piston may cause the striker to apply controlled force on a adapter to create a precise opening for subsequently disposing a prosthesis in a patient. The detent may hold the striker in a position until a sufficient pressure is applied to release the striker. The tool allows forward or backward impacting for expanding the size or volume of the opening or for facilitating removal of the broach and tool from the opening. A force adjustment control of the tool allows a user to increase or decrease the impact force. A light source and hand grips improve ease of operation of the tool.
