  • Publication number: 20230000644
    Abstract: An implant extractor for use in orthopedic surgeries. The implant extractor provides a line of force substantially parallel to an implant to be extracted. The implant extractor includes a curved body having a curved jaw track configured to slidingly receive a correspondingly curved jaw for clamping a trunnion of an implant, e.g., a hip stem implant. A push rod urges the curved jaw into clamping engagement with the trunnion under the influence of a cam handle having a continuously curved cam surface.
