Abstract

See full text

An instrument configured to receive and retain a prosthetic component to facilitate the implantation of the same. In one exemplary embodiment, the instrument includes an actuator and holder secured to the actuator. The holder may include an elongate body and a head portion having a plurality of resiliently deformable arms sized and shaped to receive the prosthetic component therebetween. Additionally, the holder may be placed within a guide in the actuator along which the holder may be translated. By moving the actuator, the holder may be correspondingly translated and the resiliently deformable arms compressed to restrict translation and rotation of the prosthetic component relative to the holder.
