<p>This invention is an anchor (78) for attaching soft tissue to a bone. The anchor employs a head (80) having a central dome with a suture bore (86) extending therethrough. The dome also includes a pair of substantially flat, oppositely disposed lands (100, 100a) configured for engagement by a driving tool (120) for inserting the anchor into bones. A shaft (90) extends from the head, and includes a first series of helical threads (92) having a first diameter, and a second series of helical threads (94) interleaved with the first series of threads. The second series of threads has a diameter substantially different than the first diameter. The anchor further employs a guide wire bore (114) extending along the length of the anchor shaft.</p> |
