COUPLING SYSTEM FOR SURGICAL CONSTRUCT

摘要

A coupling assembly for use in surgical constructs comprises a first body and a second body. One of the first body and the second body includes a male member and an other of the first body and the second body includes a female member. The male member is sized and shaped to be received within the female member and the female member has an internal bore sized and shaped to receive the male member therein. A raised portion is formed on or attached to the male member. An area of decreased diameter is associated with the internal bore of the female member. The first and second bodies are coupleable to one another by an interference fit when the raised portion of the male member is positioned within the area of decreased diameter associated with the internal bore of the female member.
