ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for holding a surgical broach during a surgical broaching procedure comprises a handle body with a handle bearing surface formed on one end of the body, an elastically deformable link member, and a loading arrangement connected to the handle body. The loading arrangement is adapted to apply a tensile connecting force on the link member and the link member is adapted to apply the connecting force to the broach to be connected to the handle. The connecting force applied to the broach by the link member pulls the broach toward the handle body with the handle bearing surface mating with a corresponding bearing surface formed on the broach. The broach includes a latch surface by which the connecting force is applied to the broach with the link member.
