When disassembly is required, simply press the button block 506 to make the button block 506 detach. One end of the compression spring 504 of the 06 is displaced, while the other end of the button block 506 is raised, thereby disconnecting the button block 506 from the transverse Morse taper hole 306. This allows for flexible replacement and disassembly of the adapter rod body 502. Simply release the button block 506, and the compressed spring 504 will extend, pushing the button block 506 back to its original position. This makes installation more convenient and precise, thus helping to solve the problems of optimizing instrument design and improving preoperative preparation procedures for better installation of various surgical instruments and tools, as well as how to accurately adjust the tibial alignment and tibial posterior tilt angle in knee replacement surgery.
