Abstract:
Surgical tools which are used to separate from one another a femoral cup and an acetabular ball in an implanted hip replacement prosthesis. At its distal end, elements of the surgical tool engage the femoral cup and the acetabular cup. When proximal handles of the tool are squeezed toward one another, the engagement elements move away from one another. Thus, a surgeon is able to separate the femoral cup and the accetabular ball from one another without pulling the acetabular cup away from the acetabulum or the femoral cup and/or femoral implant away from the femur, thereby accomplishing the separation without disrupting any bone ingrowth.

Claim (Index 1):
A surgical tool adapted for separating a femoral cup from an acetabular ball in an implanted hip prosthesis comprising:\n a first handle and a second handle connected by a fulcrum pin in a hinged relationship, the first and second handles being urged apart by a spring, each handle having a proximal end and a distal end; the first handle having a femoral engagement component at the distal end thereof and the second handle having an acetabular engagement element at the distal end thereof; the fulcrum pin being disposed between the distal and proximal ends of each handle whereby movement of the proximal ends towards one another causes the distal ends to move away from one another; the femoral engagement component being sized to engage the neck of a femoral cup, or an outer hemispherical surface of the femoral cup, or both the neck and the outer hemispherical surface of the femoral cup and/or a proximal end of a femoral implant, and the acetabular engagement element being sized to engage a circumferential edge of an acetabular cup; the acetabular ball being affixed to a stem which is affixed to the concave surface of the acetabular cup.
