Abstract

A bone anchor and methods for securing soft tissue, such as tendons, to bone, permits a suture attachment that lies entirely beneath the cortical bone surface. The suturing material between the soft tissue and the bone anchor is secured without the need for tying a knot, thus avoiding what is, for arthroscopic procedures, an extremely demanding and difficult task. A knotless anchor for fixation of soft tissues to bone includes a bone lock in the form of a screw, and a suture lock in the form of a plug which is movable into a lumen.
