摘要：
An adjustable impactor for a tool comprises a handle, a first link, and a second link. The first link is pivotably attached to the handle. The second link is pivotably attached to the first link. The second link has a connector configured to attach to the tool. A method for impacting an orthopaedic component inside a surgical cavity includes a step for pivoting a first link relative to a handle. Another step pivots a second link relative to the first link. The first and second links are locked. A step attaches a tool to the second link. An impacting step impacts the handle such that the handle transmits the force from the impact through the first and second links to the tool.
