Abstract
According to one example, an extractor may include a main body and a coupling mechanism. The main body can include a slot configured to receive a fastener that couples the extractor to the tibial prosthesis, a groove extending to a lateral side and a medial side of the slot and a projection at least partially defining a side wall of the groove. The coupling mechanism can be connected to the main body and configured to connect with an instrument.
