The invention provides a holding driver. The holding driver comprises a tubular shell with a longitudinal central hole and a central shaft in clearance fit with the central hole, wherein the front end part of the central shaft is provided with external threads; the rear end part of the shell is provided with a striking part; the shell is provided with a run-through window. The holding driver also comprises an anti-loose member for preventing the central shaft from loosening and a knob accommodated in the window. The rear end part of the central shaft is provided with a matching part which is in interference fit with the knob and can drive the central shaft to rotate with the knob. By using the holding driver, the external threads on the front end part of the central shaft and the internal threads of a femoral prothesis stem are not easily damaged, so that the damage rates of the holding driver and the femoral prothesis stem are reduced and the cost is saved.
