6.3.3 Discussion About the Functionality of the New Design

for Bioresorbable Interference Screw

In order to eliminate potential implant breakage (deep threads provide areas
of low resistance) and maximize the press fit effect in the bone tunnel, the
bioresorbable interference screw has a thread profile, which takes into account
