title: Removal of the instrument Makar shoulder staple.
abstract: When confronted with the challenge of hardware removal during revision shoulder stabilization procedures, specialized instrumentation such as the Instrument Makar staple driver/extractor may become necessary. The Synthes DHS/DCS coupler screw may be more readily available, and can effectively substitute for the Instrument Makar staple driver/extractor.
