ABSTRACT:
A novel pliers-like tool is disclosed for bringing into engagement the first member, having a head and a neck depending therefrom, and the second member, having a cavity therein receiving said head, of a joint prosthesis. In use, the inner surface of one, preferably bifurcated, jaw of the tool bears against the outer surface of the second member, while the tip of the other jaw bears against the neck of the first member. The two members are readily brought into engagement by closing the handles of the tool.
