Embodiment Construction
[0024]FIG. 1 depicts a suture anchor 10 according to the present invention. It comprises an elongated body 12 having a pointed distal tip 14 and a proximal end 16. An axial passageway 18 extends into the body 12 from the proximal end 16. The passageway 18 is open along its sides 20. A thread 22 encircles the body 12. A suture bridge 24 spans the passageway 18 laterally at a distal portion 26 thereof.
[0025]Turning also now to FIGS. 2 and 3, an inserter 28 fits into the passageway 18. A length of suture 30 passes around the suture bridge 24 and is received within longitudinal grooves 32 on the inserter 28. As best seen in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the passageway 18 at the proximal end 16 is essentially a hexagon 34 with a pair of suture passages 36 on opposite corners thereof. The suture passages 36 lead to either side of the suture bridge 24. The inserter 28 has a complimentary shape to fit within the hexagon 34 with its grooves 32 in alignment with the suture passages 36 ...
