主权项 1. A system for tissue repair comprising: a suture anchor having a longitudinal axis and including: a body defining a hollow interior, the hollow interior including a proximal region having a first cross-section, a distal region having a second cross-section, and a medial transition region positioned between the proximal region and the distal region, and;diametrically opposed first and second apertures in the body, forming a bore extending through the body transversely to the longitudinal axis, the bore sized to receive one or more flexible members; and a driver including: a shaft having: a proximal portion having a first complementary cross-section, wherein the first complementary cross-section is an inverse shape complementary to the first cross-section, the proximal portion adapted to engage with the proximal region of the body of the suture anchor;a distal portion having a second complementary cross-section, wherein the second complementary cross-section is an inverse shape complementary to the second cross-section, the distal portion adapted to engage with the distal region of the body of the suture anchor;a medial transition portion extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the medial transition portion configured to mate with the medial transition region of the body of the suture anchor to form a suture passage, the suture passage in communication with the bore and adapted for routing the one or more flexible members around the shaft, and;a tip extending distally from the distal portion of the shaft and beyond the distal region of the body of the suture anchor.
