Abstract

A process of forming a fastener with improved threading to resist multi-axial forces and off-axis loading scenarios is provided. The process may include placing first and second mill tools adjacent a shaft of the fastener having a proximal end and a distal end, rotating the shaft and the first and second mill tools, and translating the first and second mill tools along at least part of a length of the shaft to form: a first concave undercut surface oriented toward the proximal end, a first convex undercut surface oriented toward the distal end, a second concave undercut surface oriented toward the distal end, and a second convex undercut surface oriented toward the proximal end.
