Removal of the instrument Makar shoulder staple
1Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush Medical College, Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois 60612, USA.
Abstract:
When confronted with the challenge of hardware removal during revision shoulder stabilization procedures, specialized instrumentation such as the Instrument Makar staple driver/extractor may become necessary. The Synthes DHS/DCS coupler screw may be more readily available, and can effectively substitute for the Instrument Makar staple driver/extractor.
