A soft tissue fixation device (10) for placement in a bone hole includes a body (16) having an outer surface (22). A longitudinally extending channel (24, 26, 28, 30) for receiving soft tissue (12) is defined by a portion of the outer surface (22). The body (16) is constructed to be secured in the bone hole in response to axial motion of the body into the bone hole without requiring further manipulation of the device. The channel (24, 26, 28, 30) is configured to secure soft tissue (12) located within the channel between the portion of the outer surface (22) defining the channel and a wall of the bone hole. A securing member (32, 34, 36, 38) is defined by a second portion of the outer surface for securing the body (16) in the bone hole. A rib located within the channel or a projection configured to be selectively deployed into the channel aid in securing the soft tissue (12) in the channel.
