THREADED INSERT

摘要

Exemplary embodiments are generally directed to a radially compressible and/or expandable threaded insert. Exemplary embodiments of the threaded insert can include a tubular body having a length extending along a central axis between a first end and a second end. An inner surface of the body can include a circumferentially extending internal thread and an outer surface of the body can include one or more surface features extending from an outer surface of the tubular body. A longitudinally extending slot can be formed the tubular body. The slot can extend the length of the tubular body to form a circumferential discontinuity along the length of the body.
