An insert-molded suture anchor having a biodegradable polymer body molded around a loop of suture. A drive head disposed on the proximal end of the body, and a screw thread spirals around the body. The suture is held securely within the anchor body by forming irregularities in the braided suture used to form the anchor. The anchor is produced by placing the braided suture within an injection mold, and injecting biodegradable polymer into the mold.
