<p>This invention is a suture anchor system for securing a suture (17, 18, 19), into a bone cortex (10) surface. The system includes forming a hole (14, 15, 16) into a bone cortex surface that is of a diameter and depth to provide a wall surface area that is at least as great as the surface area of an end section of a suture or sutures fitted therein. By filling the hole with an adhesive (24) that is allowed to cure, a suture mounting is provided that will have a pullout strength or purchase that is greater than a load as is anticipated to be applied thereto. To increase the purchase a portion of the hole formed into the bone cortex may be counter bored to form an outwardly extending skirt, the suture may be folded upon itself, a knot may be tied in the suture, or a pair of sutures can be combined together.</p> |
