摘要：
Apparatus for securing soft tissue to bone, comprising: a suture anchor comprising: a body an elongated tip section connected to the body and extending distally of the body, the elongated tip section terminating in a distal point a bone-engaging geometry formed on the body, the bone-engaging geometry being proximal to the elongated tip section a driver-engaging element formed on the proximal end of the body and a suture-connecting feature associated with the body for attaching a suture to the body wherein the elongated tip section has a length which exceeds the thickness of the soft tissue which is to be secured to the bone, such that when the suture anchor is passed through the soft tissue, the distal point emerges from the soft tissue before the bone-engaging geometry penetrates the soft tissue.
