Abstract:
The present invention relates to an orthopedic surgical pliers-like tool (1) for performing surgery on the patella bone, comprising: —at least a couple of jaws (2, 3) coupled to corresponding handle members (12, 13) pivotally mounted with a hinge bolt (5) in relation with one another; —a distal clamp portions (8, 9) on each jaw (2, 3) for gripping and holding at least the periphery of a patella bone; —an intermediate force transmission mechanism (4) between the tool handle members (12, 13) and the jaws (2, 3); —a couple of arms (20, 30) in said intermediate force transmission mechanism (4) structurally independent from the handle members (12, 13) and interposed between the handle members (12, 13) and the jaws (2, 3); —an elastic member (25, 35) in each arm (20, 30) for coupling each arm to a corresponding handle member (12, 13) in a first linking point (38, 39); —a second more distal linking point (31, 33) in each arm (20, 30) engaging a corresponding distal end (43, 42) of a handle member (12,13); —the first linking point (38, 39) of one arm (20, 30) and the second linking point (31, 33) of the other arm being cross linked to the same handle member (12, 13).
