Abstract

Disclosed is a mechanical junction (43, 45) for facilitating the rapid attachment and removal of ultrasonic surgical components (44, 46) for the transfer of ultrasonic energy across the junction (43, 45) from an ultrasonic transducer (42) to an ultrasonically activated tool bit (44). The junction (43, 45) achieves a high, evenly distributed compressive force to optimize propagation of the ultrasonic energy from the transducer (42) to a tool bit (44), while maintaining a ralatively small outside diameter of the ultrasonic tool (44, 46). Also disclosed are a plurality of ultrasonic energy activated tool tips (51, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 400, 420, 440, 460, 480, 500, 520, 540, 560) for introducing and removing an orthopedic prosthesis.
