The K-Wire is removed and fixation is assessed.
If after fluoroscopy, repositioning of the entire
screw is required (A), insert the Extraction Driver
(torx tip) into wooden handle, then into the blue
or yellow Compression Driver. Tighten the Set
Screw Knob (B). Turn slowly clockwise which will
allow both the Leading and Trailing Screws to
be repositioned. New position is achieved without
change in compression (C). (Figure 15) If the
only the leading screw need to be repositioned,
loosen the lock set screw knob and turn the extraction
driver counterclockwise.
