Content
FIGS. 1-12 depict an illustrative example of a suture anchor. The anchor 100 has an anchor body 102, a proximal member 104 joined to the anchor body 102 by a frangible connection 106 and a suture locking member 160. The frangible connection may include, for example, a thin wall (as shown), a perforated section, an intermediate material such as an adhesive, and/or other suitable frangible constructions. In the illustrative example of FIGS. 1-12, the anchor body 102 is generally cylindrical and has a sidewall 103 (FIG. 10) defining an exterior surface, a proximal end 108, a distal end 110, and a longitudinal axis 112 extending between the proximal and distal ends 108, 110. An interior longitudinal passageway 114 extends at least partway from the proximal end 108 toward the distal end 110. A proximal opening communicates with the longitudinal passageway nearer the proximal end 108 and a distal opening communicates with the longitudinal passageway nearer the distal end 110. In the illustrative embodiment of FIGS. 1-12, the proximal opening 116 communicates through the proximal end 108 of the anchor body 102 along the axis 112 with the passageway 114. The distal opening comprises a plurality of distal openings that communicate from the exterior surface of the anchor body 102 through the sidewall 103 to the passageway 114.
