A suture anchor comprising an elongated body having a distal end surface, a proximal end surface, an exterior sidewall extending between the distal end surface and the proximal end surface, and an interior passageway extending between the distal and proximal end surfaces; an actuator comprising a hook; the elongated body and the actuator being configured so that: (i) when the actuator is in a first, extended position relative to the elongated body, the hook may hook a length of suture; (ii) when the actuator is in a second, intermediate position, the suture is slidably captured between the hook and the elongated body; and (iii) when the actuator is in a third, retracted position relative to the elongated body, the suture is securely captured between the hook and the elongated body; and a control mechanism for selectively holding the actuator in one of its first, second and third positions. |
