Abstract
A suture anchor extension for converting a non-fully threaded base suture anchor to a fully threaded suture anchor. The extension comprises a hollow tubular sleeve adapted to be axially aligned with and attached to the base suture anchor. One end of the sleeve engages the non-circular drive member on the base suture anchor and the other end engages a driver for turning the extension and base anchor into tissue at the work site. Suture attached to the base anchor is directed through the interior of the sleeve and, during installation, through the cannulation of the driver.
