EXTRACTION OF THE MATERIAL
The lateral screws are simply unscrewed once the approach has been retur-
ned to (
ref. 257381
).
The polyethylene plug protecting the head of the calcaneal screw is cleared,
making it possible to screw its extractor into place (
ref. 254597
). The extractor
is screwed in backwards, making it initially possible to connect it to the screw
and then, when it reaches its blocking point, to unscrew it in a second stage
(Fig. 20)
.
For the nail, once you have returned to the plantar approach, screw in the M6
connection screw (
ref. 253251
) on to which the nail extractor (
ref. 254597
)
and its counterweight (
ref. 255440
) can be connected.
Remark
: Make sure to maintain a lateral screw in position so as not to push
it into the tibia.
