ABSTRACT:
A soft tissue anchor is provided for attaching soft tissue to bone. The anchor is useful generally throughout the body where soft tissue needs to be anchored to bone. It is particularly useful for reattaching separated tissues adjacent to an articular joint such as the hip, knee, or shoulder. For example it is well suited for reattaching labral tissue that has become separated from the glenoid rim adjacent a shoulder joint.
