In the illustrative example of FIGS. 1-12, the suture locking member 160 is in the form of an interference member operable to axially slide into the longitudinal passageway 114 of the anchor body 102 to secure a suture within the longitudinal passageway 114 by compressing the suture between the locking member 160 and the anchor body 102. In the illustrative example of FIGS. 1-12, the suture locking member 160 has an elongate cylindrical body 162 having a proximal end 164, a distal end 166, and a longitudinal axis 168 extending between the proximal and distal ends 164, 166. The body 162 has a dimension perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 168 less than or equal to the diameter of the anchor body passageway 114. Preferably the body 162 tapers distally. More preferably the body 162 tapers to a point 170.
