Abstract:
1. A pin for fixing an implant subjected to tensile load, comprising; a straight rod-shaped body extending over its total length, from a distal tip to a proximal end, said straight rod-shaped body having a cross-section, a force input side, a force output side, a cross-section plane where an input force is applied, and an anchoring site, said anchoring site being axially spaced apart from said cross-section plane, wherein said cross-section of said straight rod-shaped body has over its total length, on said force output side, at least two contact sites extending from said distal tip to said proximal end for contacting said anchoring site of said pin, said input force being output in a distributed manner via said at least two contact sites, and wherein said cross-section of said straight rod-shaped body has over its total length extending from said distal tip to said proximal end, on a force input side a semi-circular profile merging into said at least two contact sites via two parallel sides.
