A method for attaching an object to bone that includes the steps of preparing an elongated channel in the bone, inserting a fixation device into the channel such that a first axis of the fixation device is generally parallel to the channel, and rotating the fixation device in a rotation plane that is generally parallel to the surface of the bone such that at least a portion of the fixation device is positioned under bone tissue. Fixation devices used in this method include a suture anchor having an elongated body or a dumbbell-shaped body.
