ABSTRACT:
A method for emplacing a medical anchor in a borehole in biological tissue, the method comprising the steps of providing a borehole in the biological tissue, inserting the anchor into the borehole with a tool such that the anchor is affixed to the tool and in approximate alignment with the borehole, manipulating the tool, the step of manipulating the tool causing the anchor to pivot about an axis perpendicular to the borehole and further comprising rotating the anchor in the borehole about the axis of the borehole, thereby causing the anchor to move outwardly in the borehole to engage a wall of the borehole and cut into the wall of the borehole and secure the anchor in a final position in the borehole such that the anchor is disposed approximately perpendicular to the axis of the borehole; and removing the tool from the borehole by moving the tool proximally in the borehole, thereby separating the anchor from the tool and leaving the anchor secured in the borehole.
