The disclosure provides examples of an open architecture anchor for securing soft tissue to bone, for example, to repair a torn rotor cuff. The anchor includes a helical screw thread having a base and two sidewalls that are non-linear. The non-linear sidewalls extend from opposing ends of the base and meet at a peak. The non-linear sidewalls are circumscribed within a triangle defined by the peak and ends of the base. Compared to the standard triangle profile, the helical screw thread profile has a smaller cross-sectional surface area and, consequently, removes less bone. The helical screw thread having the reduced cross-sectional area preserves bone stock and enhances the holding strength of the anchor in bone.
