Content
The bone anchor 330 serves to couple the transosseous coupler 320 to bone. As used herein, an “anchor" refers to an apparatus, instrument, structure, member, part, device, component, system, or assembly structured, organized, configured, designed, arranged, or engineered to secure, retain, stop, and/or hold, an object to or at a fixed point, position, or location. Often, an anchor is coupled and/or connected to a flexible member such as a tether, chain, rope, wire, thread, suture, suture tape, or other like object. Alternatively, or in addition, an anchor may also be coupled, connected, and/or joined to a rigid object or structure. In certain embodiments, an anchor can be a fixation device. Said another way, a fixation device can function as an anchor. A bone anchor is an anchor, a type of fixation device, that can engage bone and can couple or connect another structure to bone. In certain embodiments, the bone anchor is a corkscrew anchor.
