An orthopedic impactor device for positioning an orthopedic prosthetic cup implant during a hip replacement surgery is described. The impactor is designed with a “one piece” elongated body portion, having a distal prosthetic cup engagement portion which is separated from a proximal strike plate by an elongated body and handle portions. A connection rod, connectable to an orthopedic prosthetic cup, is positioned longitudinally within the through-bores of the body and handle portions. A lever arm, having a linkage member, is pivotally connected to the rod such that when the lever arm is pivoted towards the exterior surface of the annular sidewall of the handle portion, the distal end of the rod moves within the body portion.
