A method for suspension of the CMC joint that minimizes patient irritation/discomfort and damage to the surrounding tissue. Specifically, the method is a method for suspending a first metacarpal in relative position to a second metacarpal. The method includes the steps of: (i) drilling a hole through the first metacarpal； (ii) inserting a drill guide through the hole in the first metacarpal； (iii) advancing the drill guide to a surface of the second metacarpal, and drilling a hole in the second metacarpal； (iv) inserting an anchor into the hole formed in the second metacarpal, wherein the anchor is attached to suture； (v) deploying the anchor within the second metacarpal； (vi) tensioning the suture attached to the anchor； and (vii) fixing the position of the first metacarpal relative to the second metacarpal using the suture.
