Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the mechanical advantage of the external threads 1140 and internal threads 942 create a significant force that presses the push feature 1160 against the interference member 770 and/or the anchor body 702. Eventually, this force causes the frangible connection 706 to break (See FIG. 104 broken frangible connection 1190) which separates the anchor body 702 from the proximal member 704. The anchor body 702 then remains within a patient and the one or more sutures 1034 remain under tension while the interference member 770 is deployed and the anchor body 702 is deployed.
