removal of fixation devices


Explanation:
Clumsy in English, but there doesn't seem to be a good single word translation.

http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00196
"The most common types of internal fixation are wires, plates, rods, pins, nails, and screws used inside the body to support the bone directly."
