    Abstract: A suture anchor includes a generally circular body, a pair of wings, a filament, and center opening formed through the circular body. The circular body includes an outer diameter and an inner diameter bounding the center opening, and defines a generally vertical centerline and a vertical tangential plane. The wings generally extend beyond the vertical centerline to a distance approximate to, greater than, or less than the vertical tangential plane thereof. The filament is threaded at least once through a portion of the circular body. The circular anchor body forms a ring providing improved structural integrity and anchoring retention, and enables a lateral row surgical attachment technique.
