ABSTRACT:
An insertion system for a prosthesis has an inserter with a box-like attachment device mounted therein. The attachment device has an end wall, a bottom wall and a pair of sidewalls with a crossbar spaced from said bottom wall extending between said side walls. A resilient adapter engages a trunion on the prosthesis and includes an arm designed to engage the attachment device by locking under the crossbar. To prevent rotation a spring-loaded retractable rod is mounted within the inserter and can be selectively moved into and out of engagement with a locating element on the prosthesis.
