ABSTRACT:
A suture anchor inserter assembly includes a manually engageable handle and a shaft which extends axially outward from the handle. The shaft includes an inner member which is fixedly connected with the handle and an outer member which is retractable into the handle. An anchor is received in a chamber formed at the outer end of the shaft. A suture extends through a passage in the shaft, a passage in the handle and along an outer side of the shaft. The suture is tensioned to press the anchor into the chamber in the handle. A retainer assembly is manually operable to release the outer member for axial movement relative to the inner member. The handle advantageously has a triangular cross-sectional configuration.
