and the implant 101 is driven into the bone channel 105 extends transversely through the implant 103 and allows a suture to be secured thereto during the impaction period contact between the tip of the device and the bony tissue is maintained manually by the surgeon in one exemplary embodiment the implant is impacted into the bone by application of force onto the proximal surface of the implant referring to fig2 implant 201 is impacted by impactor member 202 this allows the implant 201 to be constructed with substantially consistent cross sections sleeve 203 can move relative to the implant 201 and impactor member 202 while remaining concentric and serves to stabilize and guide the implant 201 while the implant 201 is being impacted into the bone in another embodiment the implant is configured with a stepped shoulder region 303 along the length of the body suitable for applying impaction force fig3 shows a cross sectional view of anchor 301 which has a round cross section and interfaces with the distal end of the impactor 302 the distal end of the impactor 302 is generally round and hollow the distal end of the impactor 302 which interfaces with the anchor device 301 could be of varying length to enable introduction through cannulas used to access joint spaces in the shoulder knee hip etc the impactor 302 may also be loaded with multiple devices at the frequencies utilized during deployment of anchors the amount of energy loss by heat.
