The elongate portion comprises a first region adjacent to the first end and a second region adjacent to the second end. The first region extends a distance along the elongate portion and has a first diameter. The second region extends a distance along the elongate portion and has a second diameter different from the first diameter. The fastener comprises a transition zone which extends a distance along the elongate portion and connects the first region and the second region. The transition zone comprises a radiused region and a taper region.
