A device serves to insert an anchoring element and a suture thread into a bone to attach a tendon or a ligament without drilling a hole into the bone. The device comprises an anchoring element, having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis and further a continuous channel, and a tool for inserting the anchoring element and the suture thread, having a longitudinal axis, a distal end section and a further section being designed in such a way that it can be introduced into the anchoring element from the proximal end to the distal end. The tool can be inserted into the continuous channel of the anchoring element in such a way that the distal end section of the tool projects distally beyond the anchoring element, wherein the projecting distal end section is designed as a stable driving head. The anchoring element further has an external thread. |
