Abstract:
A suture anchor assembly includes an eyelet of a pound-in tip formed through both of a distal portion and a proximal portion of the tip. An anchor body of the assembly is configured to be inserted over the proximal portion of the tip such that it partially occludes the tip eyelet, allowing for a shorter overall total length of the anchor assembly.
