Patent ID: 8702754

Claim:
A method for anchoring suture to bone, comprising: coupling a suture to a suture anchor such that the suture extends around a suture-engaging member formed in a distal portion of the suture anchor and trailing ends of the suture extend through an inner lumen extending through the suture anchor and out of a proximal end of the suture anchor; inserting a driver into the proximal end of the suture anchor; and rotating the driver to thread the suture anchor into a bone hole to anchor the suture to the bone, the suture anchor including first and second threads that are spaced axially apart from one another and that have the same pitch such that the first and second threads simultaneously cut independent paths through bone; wherein the suture anchor includes an opening formed through a sidewall thereof and extending around a distal-most tip of the suture anchor entirely distal to the first and second threads such that fluid can flow through the opening and into the inner lumen of the suture anchor when the suture is anchored to the bone.
