A fixation device for securing soft tissue or suture to bone, such as in the case of rotator cuff repair and primary or secondary ACL tibial side fixation, is disclosed. The fixation device includes an implant screw and a washer that attaches to the head of the screw, yet allows the screw to be turned independently of the washer during insertion of the screw. The washer can be a cap-shaped washer, for covering and securing suture knot bundles around the implant screw, or a spiked cap, for engaging soft tissue. If necessary, the length of the implant screw may be cut to adjust its length.
