the suture anchor 10 is adapted for insertion into the distal end 61 of a driver 60 as shown in fig3 and 5 the driver 60 is provided with drive ribs 66 which extend into the interior cannula 64 of the cylindrical driver body 62 the drive ribs 66 preferably have a rounded end surface 67 so that they do not cut the suture located beneath them and have a width equal to or slightly less than the width of the grooves 20 so that when the drive ribs 66 are inserted into the grooves or channels 20 overlapping the seated sutures 100 driving torque can be applied to the suture anchor 10 groove walls via twisting of the driver handle 70 the side walls 68 of the drive ribs 66 engage the side walls of the suture anchor groove 20 to drive the suture anchor 10 into a threaded or smooth bore hole previously cut in the bone mass 200 the suture anchor drive geometry is unique in that the suture s 100 and driver rib 66 use the same anchor groove 20 the sutures 100 will track in the cavity 22 grooves 20 and through the cannulation 64 of the driver inserter 60 in operation the suture 100 is loaded into the cavity 22 of the suture anchor 10 by pulling the same taut through the split legs 24 and 26 slightly springing the same and compressing the suture until the suture enters into cavity 22 once the suture 100 is housed in the cavity 22 the suture 100 is pulled taut up the suture anchor 10 along channel or grooves 20.
