Abstract

See full text

Examples of a suture anchor having a small diameter and having a soft suture bridge or suture eyelet are described herein. The soft suture bridge/suture eyelet allows a repair suture to slide, which is desirable when tying knots. In some cases, the soft suture bridge/suture eyelet itself is made from a length of suture.
