<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for attaching tissue to bone. <P>SOLUTION: In one embodiment, the system for attaching the tissue to the bone includes a suture, a suture anchor, an inserter tool, a drill, and a drill guide having an outer guide and an inner guide. The method for attaching the tissue to the bone includes attaching the suture to the tissue, nesting the suture in a notch on the distal end of the outer guide, passing the suture through a lumen formed in the outer guide, and inserting an outer guide in a lumen formed in the outer guide. The drill guide protects the suture from rotational movement of the drill and allows a user to maintain alignment between the drill guide and the drilled hole. As a result, the suture anchor can be more easily positioned within the drilled hole. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
