N2  - A tap extractor was used to dislodge a broken tap that prevented removal of an intramedullary nail. This was imperative because of metal incompatibility and corrosion. Correct use of extraction equipment should allow atraumatic retrieval of intramedullary fixation. The proper technique for retapping a thread in an intramedullary nail is described.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
