摘要:
A suture anchor for knotless fixation of tissue. A swivel suture anchor has a rotatable anchor tip for receiving a suture strand, for example a rotatable forked tip for capturing a suture chain, for surgical tissue repair without requiring suture knots. Tension on the repair constructs is adjustable through the selection of the specific chain link or links of the suture chain captured by the forked anchor tip of the suture anchor. The swivel anchor is secured in a hole in bone by advancing a fixation device, such as a cannulated interference screw, over the body of the anchor.
