摘要:
A system and method for attaching tissue to bone are provided. In oneembodiment, a system forattaching tissue to bone includes a suture, suture anchor, inserter tool,drill, and drill guide havingan outer guide and an inner guide. A method for attaching tissue to boneincludes attaching a sutureto tissue, nesting the suture in a notch on the distal end of the outer guide,passing the suturethrough a lumen formed in the outer guide, and inserting an inner guide in alumen formed in theouter guide. The drill guide protects the suture from rotational movement ofthe drill and allows auser to maintain alignment between the drill guide and the drilled hole. As aresult, a suture anchorcan be more easily positioned within the drilled hole.
