A fixation device at least partially implantable into tissue has a shaft
having an outer face and a threaded portion wound around the outer face
and forming a helical groove. At least a part of the threaded portion is
implantable into tissue. The threaded portion includes a first face, a
second face and a third face. The first face has a first end portion in
curved contact with the outer face and a second end portion opposite the
first end portion. The second face has a third end portion in curved
contact with the outer face and a fourth end portion opposite the third
end portion. The third face is coupled to the second end portion and the
fourth end portion and is substantially parallel with the outer face.
