Content
In the illustrative example of FIGS. 52-61, the anchor body 702 is generally cylindrical and has a sidewall 750 (FIG. 61) defining an exterior surface, a proximal end 708, a distal end 710, and a longitudinal axis 712 extending between the proximal and distal ends 708, 710. An interior longitudinal passageway 714 extends at least partway from the proximal end 708 toward the distal end 710. A proximal opening communicates with the longitudinal passageway nearer the proximal end 708 and a distal opening communicates with the longitudinal passageway nearer the distal end 710. In the illustrative embodiment of FIGS. 52-61, the proximal opening 716 communicates through the proximal end 708 of the anchor body 702 along the axis 712 with the passageway 714. The distal opening comprises a plurality of distal openings that communicate from the exterior surface of the anchor body 702 through the sidewall 750 to the passageway 714.
