Introduction: Corrosion and accumulation of debris within the barrel-screw interface of dynamic hip screw constructs can lead to difficulty in their dissociation during implant removal.The AO blade plate insertor/extractor can be used as a simple method of extraction.

Method: The devise is applied to the plate and has adjustable clamps that can be dialled round to an angle corresponding to the barrel-screw interface .A slap hammer is then used to dislodge the construct .
