1. An orthopedic impactor tool comprising:
a linear motion converter;
a thrown mass operatively coupled to the linear motion converter; and
an adjustable anvil assembly including a rotatable anvil portion and a non-rotatable anvil portion,
wherein the rotatable anvil portion is rotatable relative to the non-rotatable anvil portion and includes a recess configured to receive and secure an adapter in an insertion orientation, wherein the adapter maintains the insertion orientation while the rotatable anvil portion rotates to achieve different spatial orientations,
wherein the non-rotatable anvil portion is fixedly connected to the orthopedic impactor tool,
wherein, during an operational cycle of the orthopedic impactor tool, the linear motion converter communicates linear motion to the thrown mass along an impact axis defined by the linear motion converter,
wherein the linear motion, communicated to the thrown mass, causes the thrown mass to accelerate and impact the non-rotatable anvil portion, and
wherein impacting the non-rotatable anvil portion imparts a linear impact force to the non-rotatable anvil portion which is communicated to the rotatable anvil portion.
