Removal Tips
- The interlocking screws have a central thread for capturing the screwdriver.
- If it has an end cap, it needs to be removed before trying to remove the nail. A solid locking screw screw driver should remove it.
- Although the screws are inserted with a cannulated screwdriver, that should not be used to remove those screws as cannulated screwdrivers are apt to break during the removal process.
