ABSTRACT:
A method of anchoring soft tissue to bone is provided comprising providing a mixture of a hydrophobic monomer and a hydrophilic monomer and a crosslinking agent to form a swellable copolymer, adding a soft tissue attachment element to the mixture, wherein a portion of the soft tissue attachment element protrudes from the mixture, polymerizing the mixture to form the copolymer, implanting the copolymer into bone and attaching a soft tissue to the protruding portion of the attachment element to anchor the soft tissue to the bone.
