Claim 10:
11. An intraosseous screw for deposit into a bone structure and retaining a soft tissue therein, comprising:
a body defining a longitudinal axial cavity for receiving the soft tissue, such that the soft tissue can be deposited longitudinally within the axial cavity, and a window for permitting the soft tissue to directly contact the bone structure at the time the soft tissue is deposited within the axial cavity and subsequent to the intraosseous screw being deposited in the bone structure, the body including
an open proximal end providing entry into the axial cavity,
a closed distal end, and
an exterior surface including threading for engaging the bone structure; and

a retention member positioned within the axial cavity below the window, the retention member at least partially defining an opening configured to permit passage of a suture connected to the soft tissue therethrough;
wherein an interior surface of the body defines a recess within the axial cavity for receiving a peg configured for insertion into the axial cavity to fill a pre-defined volume of the axial cavity and laterally urge soft tissue deposited within the axial cavity towards the window; and
wherein the recess resides along a first plane substantially perpendicular to a second plane along which the axial cavity extends.
