    摘要: The present invention relates to a clamping screw (6) for osteosynthesis, comprising at least one screw thread (7, 10) along a main axis (X) and, at its end referred to as the apex end (11), having a socket (12) which, about said main axis (A), has evenly angularly distributed shapes designed to accept complementing shapes of a screwdriver (19) engaged in said socket (12), notable in that the socket (12) of the screw (6) comprises at least three regular shapes (13) of which the vertices are inscribed inside a circle referred to as circumscribed circle (30) and at least two adjacent vertices of the socket (21) are connected to form a convex lobe referred to as indexing lobe (16) of which the radius of curvature is equal to the radius of the circumscribed circle (30).

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an interference screw for creating an interference fit between a bone tunnel and tissue. The screw includes a threaded body having a proximal end, distal end, and thread extending around the threaded body between the proximal and distal ends. A supporting spline extends along a cannulation through the threaded body. The supporting spline is engagable with a delivery device. The screw further includes at least one opening defined by a surface between threads of the threaded body. A ratio of open surface area to closed surface area defines the opening and is selected such that, when torsionally loaded, the screw does not exhibit plastic deformation when inserted into an undersized bone tunnel. The screw further includes a tapered tip extending from the distal end of the threaded body. The tapered tip has a thread extending at least partway around the tapered tip.
