Content

Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The knotless suture anchor system may include an interference member insertable distally into the longitudinal passageway to secure a portion of a suture within the longitudinal passageway by compressing the portion of the suture between the interference member and the anchor body. The knotless suture anchor system may include a proximal member connected to the proximal end of the anchor body by a frangible connection. The knotless suture anchor system may include an inserter operable to engage the proximal member in an axial force transmitting relationship in a first direction, the inserter having a pushrod mounted for axial translation within the inserter, the pushrod operable to engage the interference member in an axial force transmitting relationship in a second direction opposite the first direction and break the frangible connection between the proximal member and the anchor body in response to axial translation of the pushrod relative to the inserter.
