Summary:Disclosed herein are methods and devices for securing soft tissue to a rigid material such as bone. A tissue capture anchor 1000 is described that comprises an anchor body 1200 and a spreader 1300 such that tissue may be captured or compressed between outside surfaces on the anchor 1000 and spreader 1300 and inside surfaces of a bone hole to secure the tissue within the hole. A bone anchor is described that comprises an anchor body 1200 with expandable tines 1220 and a spreader 1300 that expands the tines 1220 into bone. The spreader 1300 captures tissue via a suture loop 1390 at the distal end of the bone anchor 1000. Also described is an inserter 400 that can be used to insert the anchor 1000 into bone and move the spreader 1300 within the anchor 1000 to expand the anchor 1000 and capture the tissue between the anchor 1000 and the bone.
