ABSTRACT:
A surgical device is provided for anchoring suture into bone. The device includes a threaded portion having rounded exterior thread edges. An aperture for carrying suture passes through the threaded portion at a location intermediate the ends of the threaded position, the aperture extending in a direction substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the device. When the device is inserted within a cavity in the bone having a threaded sidewall, the suture is compressed between the threads of the device and the sidewall.
