  • Suture anchor assembly
    Patent number: 6139565
    Abstract: Suture anchor assembly for attaching soft tissue to bone. The assembly (10) includes an elongated member (12) having a continuous self-tapping threaded anchor portion (14) having a self-drilling contour at its proximal end, and an integral eyelet (18) for receiving a suture (30) at its distal end. The distal end further includes a receiver for a rotating driver device (20), such as a cannulated drill. The assembly (10) is designed for endoscopic insertion of the anchor (14), with the suture (30) extending along the central axis (X.sub.1) of the driver (20).
