ABSTRACT:
A surgical instrument is provided for use in endoscopic and open surgical procedures, e.g., prosthetic implant replacement surgery. The instrument includes a handle portion, an endoscopic tube section extending from the handle portion, an articulating section pivotally connected to a distal end of the tube section, and an implant adaptor operatively associated with the articulating section. Structure is provided for progressively manipulating the articulating section of the instrument relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle portion within an angular range of motion. Structure is further provided for rotationally manipulating the implant adaptor relative to the extended longitudinal axis of the distal end of the articulating portion.
