Reduced area thread profile for an open architecture anchor

摘要: The disclosure provides examples of an open architecture anchor (100) for securing soft tissue to bone, example, repair a torn rotor cuff. includes helical screw thread (105) having base (125) and two sidewalls (135a, 135b) that are non-linear. non-linear extend from opposing ends the meet at peak (140). circumscribed within triangle (145) defined by base. Compared standard profile, profile has smaller cross-sectional surface area and, consequently, removes less bone. reduced preserves bone stock enhances holding strength in
