More Information
Summary:A bone anchor for use in anchoring one or more sutures comprises an anchor body (12) extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The anchor body (12) further comprises a longitudinal bore (30). A socket (22) is formed in a proximal portion of the longitudinal bore (30). The proximal end of the anchor body (12) is substantially flat so that when the bone anchor (12) is inserted into a bone the proximal end (14) is at or just below a surface of the bone.
