ABSTRACT:
A surgical prothesis insertion and removal tool is provided which is particularly adapted for removing a variety of different prostheses by clamping to the stems thereof. The device hereof employs a force transmitting member, such as a slide hammer, which is mounted to a coupling member. The coupling member includes an opening adapted to receive a stem of the prosthesis therein, and preferably includes a series of differently sized sleeves which conform to respective stems of different prostheses. The coupling member is configured to clamp around the sleeve and stem, enabling the slide hammer to act to lift the coupling member and thereby remove the prostheses from a bone in which it had been originally placed.
