<p>A fenestrated suture anchor for fixation of tissue to bone comprises an implant (200), such a swivel implant (200) with a forked tip (250) for capturing a suture. The implant can be secured in a hole in bone by advancing a fixation device (500), such as a cannulated interference screw (500), to engage and fully seat the implant. The cannulated fixation device (500) is provided with a plurality of openings (505) or fenestrations (505) of various dimensions and geometries to provide multiple pathways through the anchor (i.e., though the interior of the body and through the fenestrations) to allow blood to flow to increase the healing zone, for example, for rotator cuff repair, while also promoting bone in-growth.</p> |
