主权项 1. An anchor assembly comprising: an anchor defining a cavity comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion, the proximal portion including a larger diameter than the distal portion, an opening to the cavity, and a transverse through hole extending through the anchor, the through hole including openings at each end of the through hole that open to an outer surface of the anchor, the cavity extending into the through hole; and an insertion member configured for arrangement within the anchor cavity, the insertion member including a body having a proximal end portion and a flat distal end portion, and a head coupled to the proximal end portion of the body, wherein the anchor includes protrusions located on an outer surface of the anchor and below the through hole openings, the protrusions tapered along their lengths and extending away from the outer surface of the anchor, the protrusions arranged on the outer surface such that non-tapered areas are located between the protrusions, the protrusions configured to facilitate loading of a flexible member into the anchor, wherein the non-tapered areas are rounded.
