Claim Text:
1. A tool for coupling a first prosthetic to a second prosthetic, the tool comprising: a first arm defining a first longitudinal axis and having a first concave bearing surface configured to apply a first force to the first prosthetic in a first direction parallel to the first longitudinal axis; a second arm defining a second longitudinal axis, the first arm and the second arm being generally parallel to one another, the first arm being translatable with respect to the second arm; a hook shaped member defining a second concave bearing surface configured to apply a second force to the second prosthetic in a second direction parallel to the second longitudinal axis and opposite the first direction, the hook shaped member extending from a distal end of the second arm and disposed in a plane extending substantially parallel to the first and second longitudinal axes, the second bearing surface offset from the first bearing surface in a direction extending transverse to the first and second longitudinal axes; and a translation force mechanism for applying the first force to the first arm and the second force to the second arm so as to cause generally parallel translation of the first arm and second arm to couple the first prosthetic to the second prosthetic.
