Claim:
1. A suture anchor system, comprising: a suture-engaging member including a distal end portion and a proximal end portion, the distal end portion configured to engage a bone or a bone tissue, and the proximal end portion including a suture passage therethrough; and a bone-engaging member configured to receive at least a portion of the suture-engaging member; wherein, when in a coupled configuration, the bone-engaging member is configured to surround the suture passage and to rotate about the suture-engaging member to allow the suture-engaging member and the bone-engaging member to be contemporaneously driven into a bone or a bone tissue, and the distal end portion of the suture-engaging member tapers radially outward from a distal tip in a proximal direction to define a shoulder that includes an external diameter that is greater than an external diameter of a distal end of the bone-engaging member and that is operable to abut against the distal end of the bone-engaging member.
