TECH TIP: If it is difficult to unthread the DynaNail from the Removal Tool Nail Connection, utilize the holes in the Nail and Removal Tool Nail Connection to gain additional mechanical torque.
5 To release the DynaNail Implant from the Removal Tool Strike Plate Assembly, retract the Removal Tool Nail Connection by rotating it in the opposite (counter-clockwise) direction. At that point, the DynaNail can be rotated freely from the Removal Tool Strike Plate Assembly.
