Content
FIG. 51 depicts an example of suture routing through the suture anchor 500 of FIGS. 42-48 such as for example using the threaders of FIGS. 49 or 50. For example, in a transosseous soft tissue fixation procedure, one or more sutures may be extended through a bone tunnel with a first portion of the suture extending from a first opening of the bone tunnel and a second portion of the suture extending from a second opening of the bone tunnel. For example, in a rotator cuff repair procedure a first portion of suture may extend from a lateral opening of a tunnel formed in a humeral bone and a second portion of suture may extend from a medial opening at a desired attachment location for the soft tissue. The second portion may be passed through soft tissue, for example tissue of the rotator cuff, and extended away from the soft tissue.
