ABSTRACT:
A bone anchor for securing sutures or cables within a hole opening in a bone includes a screw element and a washer, which is separate from and independent of the screw element. The end of the cable to be secured within the bone hole opening is knotted or otherwise secured to the washer, thereby isolating the cable from the twisting of the screw element during insertion of the anchoring device into the hole opening in the bone.
