摘要：
The present disclosure relates to an anchor assembly (10). The anchor assemblyincludes an anchor (20) defining a proximal portion (21), a distal portion (22),a cavity (23) and an opening (24) to the cavity and an insertion member (30) configuredfor arrangement within the anchor cavity. A transverse through hole (25) is locatedbetween the proximal and distal (21, 22). Openings (25 a, b) are located at eachend of the through hole (25). The anchor includes protrusions (26) located distallyat each opening. The protrusions facilitate loading of a flexible member, suchas a suture, through the through hole, and allow for the creation of a path in thewall of a bone hole when the anchor is inserted into bone hole. The insertion memberincludes a body (31) having a proximal end portion (31a) and a flat distal end portion(31b), and a head (32) coupled to the proximal end portion of the body. A methodof tissue repair and other anchor assemblies are also disclosed.
