Abstract

An anchor far attaching an object to a bone or bone-like structure includes a body and a plurality of barbs located in axially aligned, circumferentially spaced relation to each other about the body. The barbs have a normal configuration wherein they extend rearwardly and radially outwardly from the anchor body. The barbs may be elastically deformed. A transverse bore extends through a front portion of the anchor for engagement by a length of cord-like material. An opening oriented perpendicularly to the bore extends through a flattened rear portion of the anchor. A longitudinal slot aligned with the opening connects the front end of the anchor body to the opening and minimizes force necessary to pull the anchor into its desired position relative to the bone and allows the anchor to be disconnected from the object and removed after deployment.
