The customer reported an extraction hook was broken.
The instrument has been raised under pi (b)(4).
The report stated that it broke during a revision case.
This pi is open to reflect that revision.
The surgery was to remove a broken right side gamma3 long nail which was implanted approximately 2yrs ago at the (b)(6) by another surgeon, and replaced with an omega dhs.
The nail had broken at the point where the lag screw crosses through and there was mal-union of the initial fracture site.
The lag screw, 5mm distal locking screw and proximal part of the nail were extracted.
The distal portion of the nail remains in situ.
