the blade rotate clockwise
upon extraction.

Remove the nail

(and locking sleeve)

Assemble the hammer and
hammer guide, and thread the
assembly into the extraction
screw.

Thread the extraction screw
into the proximal nail end,
through the incision made
for end cap removal. Finger-
tighten the assembly.

Remove the locking bolt and
