A suture anchor assembly, comprising: an anchor, comprising: a tip comprising: a proximal end and a tapered distal end, a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends (111,113); an eyelet extending transversely through the longitudinal axis of the tip dimensioned to receive one or more sutures; and a cannulation formed within the tip in communication with the eyelet, the cannulation having threads extending from the proximal end of the cannulation to a region proximal to a distal end of the eyelet; an elongated anchor body formed separately from the tip, the anchor body comprising an open cannula extending from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end of the cannula dimensioned to receive the proximal end of the tip; and a threaded plug formed separately from both the anchor body and the tip, the plug configured to engage the cannulation of the tip; and an inserter comprising: an outer shaft dimensioned for receipt within the cannula of the anchor body, an inner surface of the outer shaft comprising threads engageable with the threads of the plug; and an inner shaft dimensioned for receipt within the outer shaft, the inner shaft being axially and rotationally moveable independent of the outer shaft for descending the plug within the cannulation of the tip, so as to trap the one or more sutures between a distal end of the plug and a distal end of the cannulation of the tip; characterized in that the tip is comprised of a material selected be harder than a material of the anchor body, and the anchor body is comprised of a bioabsorbable material. an anchor, comprising: a tip comprising: a proximal end and a tapered distal end, a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends (111,113); an eyelet extending transversely through the longitudinal axis of the tip dimensioned to receive one or more sutures; and a cannulation formed within the tip in communication with the eyelet, the cannulation having threads extending from the proximal end of the cannulation to a region proximal to a distal end of the eyelet; an elongated anchor body formed separately from the tip, the anchor body comprising an open cannula extending from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end of the cannula dimensioned to receive the proximal end of the tip; and a threaded plug formed separately from both the anchor body and the tip, the plug configured to engage the cannulation of the tip; and a tip comprising: a proximal end and a tapered distal end, a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends (111,113); an eyelet extending transversely through the longitudinal axis of the tip dimensioned to receive one or more sutures; and a cannulation formed within the tip in communication with the eyelet, the cannulation having threads extending from the proximal end of the cannulation to a region proximal to a distal end of the eyelet; a proximal end and a tapered distal end, a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends (111,113); an eyelet extending transversely through the longitudinal axis of the tip dimensioned to receive one or more sutures; and a cannulation formed within the tip in communication with the eyelet, the cannulation having threads extending from the proximal end of the cannulation to a region proximal to a distal end of the eyelet; an elongated anchor body formed separately from the tip, the anchor body comprising an open cannula extending from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end of the cannula dimensioned to receive the proximal end of the tip; and a threaded plug formed separately from both the anchor body and the tip, the plug configured to engage the cannulation of the tip; and an inserter comprising: an outer shaft dimensioned for receipt within the cannula of the anchor body, an inner surface of the outer shaft comprising threads engageable with the threads of the plug; and an inner shaft dimensioned for receipt within the outer shaft, the inner shaft being axially and rotationally moveable independent of the outer shaft for descending the plug within the cannulation of the tip, so as to trap the one or more sutures between a distal end of the plug and a distal end of the cannulation of the tip; an outer shaft dimensioned for receipt within the cannula of the anchor body, an inner surface of the outer shaft comprising threads engageable with the threads of the plug; and an inner shaft dimensioned for receipt within the outer shaft, the inner shaft being axially and rotationally moveable independent of the outer shaft for descending the plug within the cannulation of the tip, so as to trap the one or more sutures between a distal end of the plug and a distal end of the cannulation of the tip; characterized in that the tip is comprised of a material selected be harder than a material of the anchor body, and the anchor body is comprised of a bioabsorbable material.
