A cortical bone implant is formed of two or more planks of bone which are connected with one or more offset pins. The pins may be right circular cylinders inserted into a corresponding offset bore which offset bends the inserted pin. The bending creates compression and tensile loads in the pin which loads creates friction compression forces on the planks connecting them to the pins by friction. The pins may have different shapes to form the offsets and different configurations for friction attachment to the planks. The implants may be formed of flat or L-shaped planks or bones formed into other shapes including interlocking arrangements. Processes and fixtures are disclosed for forming the pins, planks and implants. Various embodiments of the pins, planks, implants and processes are disclosed.

The implant of claim 1 wherein the first and second members and pin each comprise cortical bone, the pin and bores having approximately the same transverse dimensions.3. The implant of claim 2 wherein the members and pins are each formed from a bone having a given fiber direction such that the bone resists shearing in a direction transverse to the fiber direction to a significantly greater extent than in a direction parallel to the given direction, the longitudinal axes of the pin sections all being substantially along the fiber direction.4. The implant of claim 2 wherein the member sides each define a plane and the members and pins are each formed from a bone having a given fiber direction such that the bone resists a tensile force and a shearing force in a direction transverse to the fiber direction to a significantly greater extent than in a direction parallel to the given direction, the bone members each having a fiber direction approximately parallel to the planes.5.
