摘要： Disclosed herein are methods and devices for securing soft tissue to a rigid material such as bone. A bone anchor is described that comprises an anchor body with expandable tines and a spreader that expands the tines into bone. Also disclosed is a bone anchor that comprises a base and a top such that suture material may be attached to apertures in the anchor top or else compressed between surfaces on the base and top to secure the suture to the anchor. Also described is an inserter that can be used to insert the bone anchor into bone and move the spreader relative to the anchor body attach suture material. Also described is an inserter that can be used to insert the bone anchor into bone and move the anchor top relative to the anchor body or anchor base to attach to or clamp suture material there between. Methods are described that allow use of single bone anchor to secure tissue to bone or also to use more than one bone anchor to provide multiple lengths of suture material to compress a large area of soft tissue against bone.

摘要： A dual expansion anchor configured for use in anchoring an implanting portion to an anchor point. A dual expansion anchor can be of particular use in anchoring soft tissue to a bone. A dual expansion anchor can have an expander and an anchor body. The expander can be sized and shaped so that it causes radial expansion of a first end and a second end of the anchor body when the expander is moved to a deployment or expansion position within the anchor body. The anchor body can include features to positively retain the position of the expander when the anchor body is deployed.
