Claim 14:
15. A system for associating a soft tissue with a bone structure, comprising:

an intraosseous screw, the intraosseous screw including
a body defining a longitudinal axial cavity for receiving the soft tissue and a window for permitting the soft tissue to contact the bone structure while deposited within the axial cavity, the body including
an open proximal end providing entry into the axial cavity,
a 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; and

a peg configured for insertion into the axial cavity, the peg being shaped to fill a predefined volume of the axial cavity and such that, when the soft tissue is deposited within the axial cavity and the peg is inserted into the axial cavity, the peg laterally urges the soft tissue towards the window.
