<p>An anchor for fixing soft tissue within a bone tunnel includes a distal end sized and shaped for passage through the tunnel and a proximal end for extending into the tunnel. The distal end is constructed to engage bone cortex adjacent the tunnel opening. The proximal end includes a mount for attaching soft tissue to the anchor. The distal end defines a hook having a sharp or rounded tip and teeth for engaging the bone cortex. The mount is a loop through which soft tissue is passed. A method for attaching soft tissue to bone includes passing the anchor through the tunnel, distal end first, and positioning the anchor in the tunnel with the distal end protruding from the tunnel such that the distal end engages bone cortex adjacent the opening of the tunnel and the proximal end extends into the tunnel.</p> |
