This invention relates to an auto gripping sockets for introducing and / or removing orthopedic implants. This auto gripping socket comprises a housing with auto gripping system at one end and the other end resembles a standard male part which is engageable in female part of conventional quick coupling for driving this socket either by handle or by power driven hand piece. The auto gripping system comprises three equispaced cam profiles inside the housing. Three cylindrical rollers are retained in this housing with help of a cage. Three slots are provided in this cage for holding three rollers inside the cam profiles. These slot allow the rollers to project inside the bore of the cage as well as keep the rollers free in contact with the cam profiles from outside the cage. When an implant is inserted in this socket, the three rollers touch this implant inside the cage- On rotating the auto gripping socket by holding in quick coupling, the three rollers start moving towards the crest of the cam profiles resulting in grip on the implant from inside thereby the implant starts rotating along with the auto gripping socket, thus clockwise rotation of an auto gripping socket introduces the implant in the bone and anticlockwise rotation of an auto gripping socket removes the implant from the bone. These auto gripping sockets can be used by selecting ones of various sizes suitable for the size of implant to be introduced or to be removed. The slight variation in size of any particular implant is accommodated in travel of rollers from lowest to highest points of cam profiles for gripping.
