摘要：
The present disclosure provides an expandable fastener for orthopaedic applications and arranged for fastening when positioned in a bore hole in bone. The fastener comprises a body having an axis. The fastener further comprises an expansion portion moveable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration such that, in use, the expansion portion urges outwardly from the body towards the bone surrounding the bore hole. The fastener is arranged such that ingrowth of bone between the expansion portion and the body is substantially avoided when the expansion portion is in the expanded configuration.
