  • Patent number: 5364400
    Abstract: A surgical interference implant including an elongated body formed of a biocompatible material and having a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end defines an element for engaging a driver, and lacks an enlarged head member. The body defines a conical region having a smooth outer surface which extends proximally along a first, distal portion of the body to enable initial linear insertion of the body into a bone tunnel. A helical thread is disposed about a second, proximal portion of the body to enable subsequent rotational insertion of the body deeper into the bone tunnel.
