Extraction instruments and systems for use in revision arthroplasty are provided. The extraction instruments are shaped and configured to fit within the typically tight confines in which revision arthroplasty is performed, and to enhance the surgeon's control over the axis, quantum and speed of the force that is required be applied to disrupt a bone-to-prosthesis bond. This enables completion of a revision arthroplasty to proceed more quickly, and with reduced risk that unwanted movements might cause accidental injury to nearby vital structures.
