Abstract
We describe the application of a self-adhesive elastic bandage to the handle of surgical hammers to improve the Surgeons handgrip for the impaction of acetabular implants during hip joint reconstruction. We have found this technique particularly useful for the impaction of more rigid acetabular implants in patients with harder bone, such as typically encountered during hip resurfacing arthroplasty
