Abstract:
A suture anchor includes a first body portion having a bone-engaging feature to fixedly engage a bony tissue and a second body portion including a flexible member loop for receipt of a suture where engaging the second body portion rotates the flexible member loop with respect to the first body portion. Rotation of the second body portion causes the flexible member loop to frictionally engage a suture passing through the flexible member loop to form a twist to frictionally secure the suture.
