Hook method of retrieving wire for fixation of osteotomies.
A device for easing retrieval of wire from acute angles of holes drilled in base wedge osteotomies, or any other osteotomy requiring wire fixation, is a Folio Ianiro Retriever. The Folio Ianiro Retriever modifies the way the wire is guided while reducing microtrauma to the bone and expediting the procedure. The use of the device is described with a discussion of the surgical procedure.
