Content
FIGS. 42-48 depict a suture anchor 500 according to an example of the present disclosure. The suture anchor 500 is the same as the suture anchor 100 of the example of FIGS. 1-12 except for the configuration of the distal openings. The anchor 500 has an anchor body 502, a proximal member 504 joined to the anchor body 502 by a frangible connection 506 and a suture locking member 560 all configured as in the example of FIGS. 1-12. The anchor body 502 is generally cylindrical and has a sidewall 503 defining an exterior surface, a proximal end 508, a distal end 510, and a longitudinal axis 512 extending between the proximal and distal ends 508, 510. An interior longitudinal passageway 514 extends at least partway from the proximal end 508 toward the distal end 510. A proximal opening 516 communicates through the proximal end 508 of the anchor body 502 along the axis 512 with the interior longitudinal passageway 514. The distal opening comprises a plurality of distal openings that communicate from the exterior surface of the anchor body 502 through the sidewall 503 to the interior longitudinal passageway 514. In the illustrative example of FIGS. 42-48, the distal openings include a first, more proximal superior opening 518 and a second, more distal superior opening 520. The first and second distal openings 518, 520 are formed through the sidewall 503 to communicate with the interior longitudinal passageway 514 and are centered over the longitudinal axis 512 on the same side of the anchor body. The first and second distal openings 518, 520 are spaced proximally away from the distal end 510 of the anchor body. In the example of FIGS. 42-48, the second opening 520 is elongated longitudinally and communicates with a proximally sloping passage 521 that connects it to the interior longitudinal passageway 514.
