Abstract:
New surgical instruments and methods used to implant elements of a reverse hip prosthesis in a patient are described. The instruments are impactors which are struck with a hammer at their proximal ends after the instrument has been used to position the implant element in the patient. An acetabular cup impactor has inclination and anteversion rods which are used to position the acetabular cup optimally in the acetabulum. An acetabular ball impactor affixes the acetabular ball in the acetabular cup by means of a Morse taper. And a femoral cup impactor affixes the femoral cup in the femoral stem by means of a Morse taper.

Claim (Index 6):
A surgical instrument configured to impact an acetabular ball onto a stem of an acetabular cup to cause the acetabular ball to be affixed to a part of the stem upon a Morse taper, the acetabular cup having been affixed to the acetabulum of a patient, comprising\n a handle comprised of a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, a threaded portion at the distal end and a handle element at the proximal end, and an acetabular ball impactor having a proximal end and a distal end, threads disposed at the proximal end and a concave surface disposed at the distal end, the threads being sized to receive the threaded portion at the distal end of the shaft and the concave surface being sized to receive the acetabular ball.
