An awl provides for creating an accurate hole in a bone, such as for implantation of a suture anchor. The awl comprises an elongated shaft having a distal tip which terminates in a sharp point adapted to penetrate bone. At least one cutting flute is provided on the shaft and has a longitudinally extending cutting edge formed on the shaft proximal to and adjacent to the sharp point whereby to allow removal of bone via the cutting flute upon rotation of the shaft about a central longitudinal axis thereof inside of the bone. |
