French term or phrase: impacteur demi-lune
This is an instrument used to help install a femoral stem prosthesis in the femur. 1. Introduire la tige dans le canal fémoral en la tenant par le col.
2. Pousser doucement pour suivre l’empreinte laissée par la râpe en la guidant à l’aide de *l’impacteur demi-lune* qui permet, si nécessaire, le maintien en antéversion.

I have tried looking for semilunar/semicircular impactor without success.

I think half-moon must refer to its cross section.

  -> Thanks! I think that's pretty conclusive - it's the shape of the head, though it's not quite half a moon.
