Claim 11:
12. 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, 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; and

a passing suture for guiding a suture connected to the soft tissue through the opening, the passing suture having a first end and a second end and extending through the opening, such that the first end and the second end are each positioned outside of the axial cavity;
wherein the window extends more than half of a total length of the body of the intraosseous screw.
