Abstract

A pin (10) is provided for securing a replacement ligament (38, 40) inside a tunnel (34) of a receptor bone (32). The pin (10) includes a body portion having a threaded section (16) for engaging the receptor bone (32) to anchor the pin (10) in the receptor bone (32). The body portion also includes a tapered shank (18) located adjacent the threaded portion (16). The tapered shank (18) is configured to enter a drilled hole (42) having a predetermined diameter formed in the replacement ligament (38) to force the replacement ligament (38) against the wall of the tunnel (34). The tapered shank (18) has a first diameter (24) at a first end of the tapered shank (18) opposite the threaded portion (16) which is smaller than the predetermined diameter of the drilled hole (42) and a second diameter (26) adjacent the threaded portion (16) which is larger than the predetermined diameter so that the tapered shank (18) engages the replacement ligament (38) in the tunnel (34) as the pin (10) is inserted through the drilled hole (42) in the replacement ligament (38).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS(received by the International Bureau on 4 August 1994 (04.08.94); original claims 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 20 amended; new claim 21 added; other claims unchanged (5 pages)]
1. A pin for securing a replacement ligament inside a tunnel of a receptor bone, the pin comprising: a body portion including a threaded section for engaging the receptor bone to anchor the pin in the receptor bone, the body portion also including means for engaging and wedging the replacement ligament to force the replacement ligament against a side wall of the tunnel to secure the replacement ligament inside a tunnel and to promote healing of the ligament, the means for engaging and wedging having a smooth conical configuration with its larger circular cross section base facing toward the threaded section and its smaller circular cross section displaced further from the threaded portion than the base; the body also including a tapered tip portion at one end proximate to the means for engaging and wedging; and a head coupled to an end of the body portion adjacent the threaded section for driving the pin into the receptor bone.
2. A pin for securing a replacement ligament inside a tunnel of a receptor bone, the pin comprising: a body portion including a threaded section for engaging the receptor home to anchor the pin in the receptor bone, the body portion also including means for engaging and wedging the replacement ligament to force the replacement ligament against a side wall of the tunnel to secure the replacement ligament inside a tunnel and to promote healing of the ligament, the body also including a tapered tip portion at one end proximate to the means for engaging and wedging; and a head coupled to an end of the body portion adjacent the threaded section for driving the pin into the receptor bone, wherein the means for engaging and wedging includes a tapered shank located adjacent the threaded portion, the tapered shank being configured to enter a drilled hole having a predetermined diameter formed in the replacement ligament to force the replacement ligament against the wall of the tunnel.
3. The pin of claim 2, wherein the tapered shank has a first diameter at a first end of the tapered shank opposite the threaded portion which is smaller than the predetermined diameter of the drilled hole and a second diameter adjacent the threaded portion which is larger than the predetermined diameter so that the tapered shank engages the replacement ligament in the tunnel as the pin is inserted through the drilled hole in the replacement ligament to force the replacement ligament against a side wall of the tunnel to promote healing of the replacement ligament within the receptor bone.
4. The pin of claim 1, wherein the tip portion is a generally conical tip and located on an opposite end of the body portion from the head.
5. The pin of claim 4, wherein the generally conical tip is angled at an angle at about 30°.
6. The pin of claim 1, further comprising a generally smooth neck located between the head and the threaded section of the body portion.
7. The pin of claim 1, wherein the head is an external hex head to reduce the likelihood that the head will be buried in the receptor bone when the pin is installed into the receptor bone.
8. The pin of claim 1, wherein the tip portion is a sharpened tip formed on a second end of the body portion opposite from the head to pierce into a portion of the receptor bone on an opposite side of the tunnel from the head.
9. A pin for anchoring a replacement ligament in a tunnel formed in a receptor bone, the pin being inserted into a transverse hole drilled through the receptor bone, through the tunnel, through the replacement ligament located in the tunnel, and through a portion of the receptor bone on an opposite side of the tunnel, the drilled hole having a predetermined diameter, the pin comprising: a body portion, and a head portion formed on one end of the body portion for driving the pin into the receptor bone, the body portion including a tapered tip located at an opposite end of the body portion from the head, a generally smooth tapered shank located adjacent the tip and with its taper being different from the taper of the tip, a threaded portion located between the shank and the head for engaging the receptor bone to anchor the pin within the receptor bone, the tapered shank having a first diameter adjacent the tapered tip which is smaller than the predetermined diameter of the transverse hole and a second diameter adjacent the threaded portion which is larger than the predetermined diameter so that the tapered shank can engage the replacement ligament in the tunnel as the pin is inserted through the hole in the replacement ligament to force the replacement ligament against a side wall of the tunnel to promote healing of the replacement ligament within the receptor bone.
10. The pin of claim 9, wherein the tip of the body portion has a generally conical shape.
11. The pin of claim 10, wherein the generally conical tip is angled at an angle at about 30°.
12. The pin of claim 9, further comprising a generally smooth neck located between the head and the threaded section of the body portion.
13. The pin of claim 9, wherein the head is an external hex head to reduce the likelihood that the head will be buried in the receptor bone when the pin is installed into the receptor bone.
14. The pin of claim 9, wherein the tip is sharpened to pierce into a portion of the receptor bone on an opposite side of the tunnel from the head.
15. A pin for anchoring a bone or tissue graft in an opening of a receptor bone, said pin being provided for entering and extending through an exterior portion of the receptor bone and then through the opening and the graft, said pin having a proximal end to be located outside the receptor bone, a tapered distal end to be disposed inside the receptor bone, and an intermediate body portion, said pin also having a head portion disposed on said proximal end for engagement with a driving tool, a threaded portion adjacent said proximal end to engage the receptor bone, said intermediate portion being tapered downwardly in diameter from a point adjacent said threaded portion to a point adjacent said distal end and at a taper different from the distal end.
16. The pin of claim 15, wherein the pin further includes a reduced diameter portion between said threaded portion and said head portion.
17. The pin of claim 15, wherein the distal end of the pin has a generally conical shape.
18. The pin of claim 17, wherein the generally conical distal end is angled at an angle at about 30°.
19. The pin of claim 15, wherein the head is an external hex head to reduce the likelihood that the head will be buried in the receptor bone when the pin is installed into the receptor bone.
20. The pin of claim 15, further comprising a sharpened tip formed on the tapered distal end of the pin for piercing into a portion of the receptor bone on an opposite side of the opening from the head.
21. A pin for securing a replacement ligament inside a tunnel of a receptor bone, the pin comprising: a body portion including a threaded section for engaging the receptor bone to anchor the pin in the receptor bone, the body portion also including means for engaging and wedging the replacement ligament to force the \ 6
replacement ligament against a side wall of the tunnel to secure the replacement ligament inside a tunnel and to promote healing of the ligament, the engaging and wedging means having a smooth surface immediately abutting the threaded section, the body also including a tapered tip portion at one end proximate to the means for engaging and wedging; and a head coupled to an end of the body portion adjacent the threaded section for driving the pin into the receptor bone.
