Abstract: An attachment apparatus to an arthroscopic tool, comprising at one axial distal end of the attachment, a pushrod end collar of tubular cross section with a hook or fastening provision at one axial distal end of said pushrod end collar to connect to a force applicator and, rigidly attached at the other axial distal end of the pushrod end collar, are at least two pairs of pushrods, wherein each pair of said pushrods are tangentially situated at opposite ends of the pushrod end collar and extends away from the pushrod end collar into channels or grooves of a pushrod guide sleeve with tubular cross section, wherein one distal end of the pushrod guide sleeve is at least a pair of cutouts for a plurality of lifting tabs placed at opposite radial distal ends along the circumference of the pushrod guide sleeve.

Abstract: An attachment apparatus to an arthroscopic tool, comprising at one axial distal end of the attachment, a slider end collar of tubular cross section with a hook or fastening provision at one axial distal end of said slider end collar to connect to a force applicator and, rigidly attached at the other axial distal end of the slider end collar, are at least two pairs of substantially rod-like, closely located structures termed “sliders,” wherein each pair of said sliders are tangentially situated at opposite ends of the slider end collar and extends away from the slider end collar into channels or grooves of a slider guide sleeve with tubular cross section, wherein one distal end of the slider guide sleeve is at least a pair of cutouts for a plurality of lifting tabs placed at opposite radial distal ends along the circumference of the slider guide sleeve.
