Patent abstract
An autograft forming bone anchor is provided including an elongated anchor core having a tip at a distal end and coupled to a head at a proximal end, and a segmented helical thread defining one or more gaps therein, each gap defining at least a trailing wall, the trailing wall having a cutting surface including at least one cutting edge. A plane of the cutting surface that extends through a point of contact of the cutting surface with the anchor core and the cutting edge, is angled at an angle (α) with respect to a radius (r) of the bone anchor, and the bone cutting surface and the cutting edge are configured to cut bone and guide bone fragments radially inwards. Other embodiments are also described.
