Abstract: An assembly for a surgical arm includes a tool to position a prosthesis and an end effector. The tool has a tool shaft extending along a tool axis and a tool engagement surface. The end effector has a mount attachable to the surgical arm, a body portion extending from the mount, a distal end, and a guide portion is at the distal end of the body portion to receive the tool. The guide portion has a pair of arms, each arm extending to an arm end and the arm ends are spaced apart from one another to provide an opening between the arm ends. A channel is formed between the arms and extends along a guide axis. The arms define an arc-shaped guide engagement surface to enable contact with the tool engagement surface for facilitating alignment of the tool axis and the guide axis.

Abstract: An end effector for impacting a prosthesis at a surgical site along a trajectory maintained by a surgical robot. The end effector comprises an impactor assembly and a guide. The impactor assembly has a head to receive impact force, an interface to releasably attach to the prosthesis, a shaft extending along an impactor axis between the head and the interface, and an impactor engagement surface disposed between the head and the interface. The guide is adapted to attach to the surgical robot and comprises a channel extending along a guide axis and defining an opening arranged to receive a portion of the shaft of the impactor assembly, a guide engagement surface shaped to abut the impactor engagement surface, and a limiter to maintain abutment of the impactor engagement surface with the guide engagement surface to facilitate coaxial alignment of the axes with the trajectory maintained by the surgical robot.
