A suture anchor comprising an elongated body having a distal end surface, a proximal end surface, an exterior sidewall extending between the distal end surface and the proximal end surface, and an interior passageway extending between the distal and proximal end surfaces an actuator comprising a hook the elongated body and the actuator being configured so that: (i) when the actuator is in a first, extended position relative to the elongated body, the hook may hook a length of suture (ii) when the actuator is in a second, intermediate position, the suture is slidably captured between the hook and the elongated body and (iii) when the actuator is in a third, retracted position relative to the elongated body, the suture is securely captured between the hook and the elongated body and a control mechanism for selectively holding the actuator in one of its first, second and third positions.
