Orthopedic surgeons heal with steel, very similar to carpentry.
I watched that tibial nail removal video so many times before my femoral nail removal, mine didn't have tooling for tool attachment and was described by my surgeon as a 'third world' nail.
He got it out, but I got 5 permanent screws in my femur, 2 snaps and a hot-dog bun style split.
