摘要：
A knotless suture anchor provides a method for securing soft tissue to a rigidstructure such as bone. The anchor has an inner member that receives suturethread androtates within an outer tubular member. As the inner member rotates, thesuture thread iswrapped onto the inner member thereby increasing contact with the outertubular memberwhich applies pressure to the wrapped suture thread to retain it in positionon the innermember while simultaneously and adjustably tensioning the suture thread. Aratchetprevents undesirable counter-rotation, although the ratchet can be released topermitloosening of the suture thread. Also described is a suture bridge and sutureplatform forproviding further stabilization of a tendon. A method for repairing rotatorcuff tears isalso described.
