Knotless Suture Anchor And Method Of Using Same

摘要

A suture anchor including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion defining a first suture bore and having an angled distal surface that extends in a plane oblique to a longitudinal axis of the suture anchor. The second portion defining a second suture bore and having an angled proximal surface that is complementary to the angled distal surface. The angled proximate surface extends in a plane oblique to the longitudinal axis. In a first configuration, the first portion and the second portion are aligned along the longitudinal axis, and the first suture bore is aligned with the second suture bore. In a second configuration, the first portion and the second portion are offset with respect to the longitudinal axis, and the first suture bore is offset from the second suture bore to retain a suture within the first suture bore and the second suture bore.

1. A suture anchor comprising:
a first portion defining a first suture bore and having an angled distal surface that extends in a plane oblique to a longitudinal axis of the suture anchor; a second portion defining a second suture bore and having an angled proximal surface that is complementary to the angled distal surface of the first portion, the angled proximate surface extends in a plane oblique to the longitudinal axis; wherein in a first configuration, the first portion and the second portion are aligned along the longitudinal axis of the suture anchor, and the first suture bore is aligned with the second suture bore; and wherein in a second configuration, the first portion and the second portion are offset with respect to the longitudinal axis, and the first suture bore is offset from the second suture bore to retain a suture within the first suture bore and the second suture bore.
