ABSTRACT:
A bore is provided in bone, the bore communicating with a slot provided in the bone's cortical layer and with a channel of larger size than the slot located in cancellous bone below the slot. The slot overlays the channel and is in communication therewith. A length of suture is knotted to a size greater than the width of the slot, and the knot is introduced to the channel via the bore. The remainder of the suture is passed through the slot whereby the length of suture is anchored in the bone. Instead of knotting the suture, it can be attached to a bead having a diameter greater than the width of the slot, the bead being received within the channel to again anchor the suture.
