摘要:
A suture anchor operable to secure a suture to a boney tissue. The suture anchor includes a suture-engaging section including a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end is operable to engage the boney tissue and the proximal end is operable to secure the suture. A bone-engaging section is operable to receive at least a portion of the suture engaging section therein. The bone engaging section includes a bone-grasping feature that is operable to engage and secure the bone-engaging section to the boney tissue. The distal end tapers radially outward from a distal tip to define a shoulder that is operable to abut against the bone-engaging section such that when the bone-grasping feature is engaged and secured to the boney tissue, the suture-engaging section is secured and engaged to the boney tissue.
