A surgical system , comprising: an elongate shaft having an inner lumen ; an anchor (12; 12a) configured to be implanted in bone, the anchor having a passageway (14; 14a) extending therethrough; and a drill disposed within the inner lumen of the shaft, disposed within the passageway of the anchor with a distal tip of the drill located distal to the anchor, and configured to rotate relative to the shaft and the anchor to allow a hole to be formed in bone, and the drill being configured to be removed from the anchor after formation of the hole by the drill sliding proximally within the inner lumen of the shaft and the passageway of the anchor such that the tip of the drill is not located distal to the anchor, wherein the drill is configured to move from an extended position to a retracted position, the drill in the extended position being disposed within the inner lumen of the shaft, disposed within the passageway of the anchor with the distal tip of the drill located distal to the anchor, and configured to rotate relative to the shaft and the anchor to allow the hole to be formed in bone, and when the drill is in the retracted position the anchor and the shaft are movable distally relative to the drill to insert the anchor in the hole, characterized in that the anchor has a slot (16; 16a) therein that is in communication with the passageway; and the drill has a protrusion extending therefrom, and the drill is configured to move relative to the anchor to align the protrusion with the slot such that the protrusion is slidable within the slot in moving the drill from the extended position to the retracted position. an elongate shaft having an inner lumen ; an anchor (12; 12a) configured to be implanted in bone, the anchor having a passageway (14; 14a) extending therethrough; and a drill disposed within the inner lumen of the shaft, disposed within the passageway of the anchor with a distal tip of the drill located distal to the anchor, and configured to rotate relative to the shaft and the anchor to allow a hole to be formed in bone, and the drill being configured to be removed from the anchor after formation of the hole by the drill sliding proximally within the inner lumen of the shaft and the passageway of the anchor such that the tip of the drill is not located distal to the anchor, wherein the drill is configured to move from an extended position to a retracted position, the drill in the extended position being disposed within the inner lumen of the shaft, disposed within the passageway of the anchor with the distal tip of the drill located distal to the anchor, and configured to rotate relative to the shaft and the anchor to allow the hole to be formed in bone, and when the drill is in the retracted position the anchor and the shaft are movable distally relative to the drill to insert the anchor in the hole, characterized in that the anchor has a slot (16; 16a) therein that is in communication with the passageway; and the drill has a protrusion extending therefrom, and the drill is configured to move relative to the anchor to align the protrusion with the slot such that the protrusion is slidable within the slot in moving the drill from the extended position to the retracted position. <EOS>
