FIXATION SCREW, GRAFT LIGAMENT ANCHOR ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD FOR SECURING A GRAFT LIGAMENT IN A BONE TUNNEL

摘要

A fixation screw, graft ligament anchor assembly, and method for fastening a graft ligament in a bone tunnel. The screw comprises an elongated shank having a distal end and a proximal end, and a central axis extending from the distal end to the proximal end. Screw threads are disposed on the shank and extend from the distal end to the proximal end. The proximal end defines an end plane disposed transversely to the axis and at an angle thereto other than a normal angle.
