Content
FIG. 98 illustrates a stage in a sequence of using the suture anchor system 800 in another stage of the sequence illustrated in FIGS. 93-96. At this stage, the inserter 900 is connected to the suture anchor 700 and the tensioner 1000 is positioned to apply a desired level of tension to the one or more sutures 1034. A user has inserted the drive shaft 1082 into the inserter longitudinal passageway 941 and moved the interference member 770 until the point 780 extends into the longitudinal passageway 714 and the drive feature 1092 engages the drive recess 790 of the interference member 770. Next a user may attach a drive mechanism to the drive coupler 1088 and begin rotating the drive shaft 1082. This rotation causes at least one of the external helical threads 782 to engage with an internal helical thread 717 of the anchor body 702. Because the one or more sutures 1034 extend from the proximal opening 716 of the anchor body 702 from within the longitudinal passageway 714, engagement of at least one external helical thread 782 with an internal helical thread 717 of the anchor body 702 secures and compresses at least a portion of the one or more sutures 1034 between the interference member 770 and the anchor body 702. This engagement secures the one or more sutures 1034 with the same tension, or a slightly greater tension, in the one or more sutures 1034 that was present in the one or more sutures 1034 before the interference member 770 is screwed into the proximal opening 716 of the anchor body 702.
