ABSTRACT:
A bone impactor consists of a single piece of lightweight metal which has a handle and a smooth shank, across the tip of which extends a working surface that may be fitted against an excrescence, followed by striking the butt end of the handle to compress the excrescence into the bone to relieve pressure on a nerve. The shank of the bone impactor terminates in a foot that tapers to a toe, and a flat working surface beneath the foot makes an angle of at least 95.degree. with the longitudinal axis of the shank.
