    Abstract: Systems are provided for securing tissue to bone. A suture anchor can include an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end and an external surface with a plurality of longitudinally spaced bone-engaging features formed at least partially circumferentially thereon over at least a portion of a length of the suture anchor. The proximal end can have a lumen extending at least partially into the elongate body and the distal end can have a suture engaging feature proximate thereto. A first series of bone-engaging features can have a dimension that increases from a distal to a proximal end of each bone-engaging feature of the first series of bone-engaging features. A second series of bone-engaging features can have a dimension that decreases from a distal to a proximal end of each bone-engaging feature of the second series of bone-engaging features.

    Abstract: Surgical devices and related methods for use with sutures are generally described. In some embodiments, a surgical device may include an elongated body and a plurality of through holes configured to allow a suture to pass through the plate across opposing edges of a defect site. The plate may shield neighboring tissue from tension in the suture line by re¬distributing the tension along its body. In some embodiments, the disclosed surgical devices may reduce the likelihood of defect closure failure caused by the suture pulling through a tissue defect. In some embodiments, the through holes may be located on offset parallel axes to reduce excessive suture friction and suture mismanagement. The disclosed surgical devices may be used with either interrupted or continuous suture patterns.
