A Useful Technique for Removal of Herbert Screws from the ScaphoidFrom the Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Rochdale Infirmary, Rochdale, UK Correspondence: Mr S. Allcock, Rochdale Infirmary, Whitehall Street, Rochdale OL12 0NB, UK. We describe a useful technique to remove a Herbert screw after union of a scaphoid nonunion, using a 3.5 mm AO drill guide to cut through the bony ingrowth that surrounded the narrow portion of the screw, which prevented removal using the screw driver.
