Osteosynthesis designed by A. I. Seppo is the method of choice in the treatment of fracture of the neck of the femur. Extracting the fixative elements with a standard extractor requires an additional trepanation of the bone. The authors have proposed an instrument to remove crivilinear fixatives that assume the proper direction of the extracting force, thus reducing the traumatism of the intervention.
