Abstract: Devices and methods for tissue approximation and distribution of tissue stresses and tension resulting therefrom. The devices comprise a shank having one or more structures thereon, an anchor button fixedly attached to one end of the shank with the opposite end of the shank being suitable for penetration of tissues or other structures. To secure the device, the shank engages with a locking button having a locking mechanism thereon. The locking button is engaged with the shank, preferably after a tissue approximation, so that the locking button can be advanced along the shank towards the anchor button compressing the approximated tissues between the anchor button and the locking button.
