Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatuses for soft tissue repair including a device for anchoring sutured tissue to bone are disclosed. In one example, a device can include a body and a member. The body can have a wall with an outer surface thereof configured to engage the bone of a patient. The body can define an inner passage extending generally from a proximal end thereof to a distal end thereof. The body can have a slit formed by the wall, the slit extending at least a portion of a proximal-distal length of the wall. The member can be configured to be disposed within the body and can be moveable along the inner passage relative to the body between a first position and a second position. The member can be configured with a second passage to receive and pass a suture through the member when the member is in the first position.
