A suture anchor comprises an elongate body having a first end (12), a second end (14), and a longitudinal axis extending between the first and second ends. The first end may have a flared geometry (41). A lateral suture relief (16) is in the elongate body extending from the first end to an longitudinal position intermediate the first and second ends. A hollow tubular portion in the elongate body is longitudinally spaced from the.lateral suture relief. A suture is positioned in the hollow tubular portion. The suture has a delivery position parallel the longitudinal axis and a deployed position transverse to the longitudinal axis.
