Claim 11:
12. The knotless locking system of claim 11, wherein when the set screw is rotationally inserted into the receiver such that the mid portion of the set screw is positioned distal to a beginning of the mid portion of the receiver and an end of the mid portion of the set screw is positioned proximal to an end of the mid portion of the receiver, there are first, second, third, fourth, and fifth zones of clearance between the set screw and the receiver, wherein the first zone provides a maximum proximal clearance between the set screw and the receiver, the third zone provides a minimum clearance between the set screw and the receiver and corresponds with a location at which the mid portions of the set screw and the receiver coincide to apply a maximum compression force to the flexible synthetic strand, and the fifth zone provides a maximum distal clearance between the set screw and the receiver.
