ABSTRACT:
A soft tissue fixation device for placement in a bone hole includes a body having an outer surface. A longitudinally extending channel for receiving soft tissue is defined by a portion of the outer surface. The body is constructed to be secured in the bone hole in response to axial motion of the body into the bone hole without requiring further manipulation of the device. The channel is configured to secure soft tissue located within the channel between the portion of the outer surface defining the channel and a wall of the bone hole. A securing member is defined by a second portion of the outer surface for securing the body in the bone hole. A rib located within the channel or a projection configured to be selectively deployed into the channel aid in securing the soft tissue in the channel.
