providing a delivery device with a cartridge and an anvil, the cartridge holding one or more anchors, each anchor having a base portion and at least four legs extending from the base portion, the anvil defining a bed surface sized to receive one or more plate members;
positioning soft tissue over the one or more plate members positioned on the bed surface such that the soft tissue is positioned between the one or more plate members and the one or more anchors; and
forcing the one or more anchors from the cartridge with the delivery device so that the at least four legs extend through the soft tissue and are compressed against anvil buckets defined in the bed surface to force the at least four legs of each anchor to curl around separate portions of one of the one or more plate members so that the base portion of the one or more anchors is positioned over an opposite side of the soft tissue relative to the one or plate members.
