Content
In the illustrative example of FIGS. 52-61, the interference member 770 can be inserted distally into the longitudinal passageway 714. In one embodiment, one or more of the external helical threads 782 may engage or interface with one or more internal helical threads 717 of the anchor body 702 to secure a portion of a suture within the longitudinal passageway 714 by compressing the portion of the suture between the interference member 770 and the anchor body 702. Said another way, the interference member 770 can be placed in the axial through bore 756 of the proximal member 704 at the proximal end 752 in axial sliding relationship so that the interference member 770 can exit the proximal member 704 and engage and/or interface with one or more internal helical threads 717 of the anchor body 702 to lock a suture in the anchor body 702.
