An inexpensive and rapid method for removal of multiple stripped locking screws following locking plating: A case report
INTRODUCTION: Removal of stripped or jammed locking screws involves several difficulties. Especially when two or more screws are involved, their removal is a more challenging and time-consuming process because the various reported techniques have certain limitations. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we re...

description | INTRODUCTION: Removal of stripped or jammed locking screws involves several difficulties. Especially when two or more screws are involved, their removal is a more challenging and time-consuming process because the various reported techniques have certain limitations. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report a case in which five stripped screws were removed using a novel technique. DISCUSSION: Many techniques to remove damaged locking head screw were introduced, however in case with multiple screws were involved, they are limited to use. In the case, screw extractor, although it is not a medical device, is helpful in terms of time and cost. CONCLUSION: In case with the failure of removal of multiple locking screws, our technique using non-medical screw extractor can be a good option. |
