Abstract

A system (10) for anchoring tissue to bone includes an anchor member (12) having an outer bone engaging wall (22), a distal end (18), a proximal end (20), and a suture receiving slot (28) extending partially into the anchor member forming an internal passageway ending in a suture seat (26). The suture seat is integral with the anchor member, and is formed within the anchor member.
