摘要：A substantially conical suture anchor having a bore in which an end of aninsertion tool is inserted. The inserted end of the insertion tool is made of shape
retaining material. The bore and base of the suture anchor are angled with respect to thecentral axis of the suture anchor and preferably are parallel to each other. Duringinsertion, the suture anchor, mounted on the insertion tool, is reoriented to fit into thehole, thereby bending the shape memory end of the insertion tool. When the sutureanchor is within cancellous bone tissue, the shape memory of the insertion tool urges thesuture anchor to its original position (in which the suture anchor cannot fit through thebone hole). The suture anchor is thereby firmly anchored in the human bone.
