- Suitable nonbioabsorbable materials include polypropylene, polyethylene, and metals.
- Pin component 12 has a smooth conical distal tip 16 and interrupted threads 18. Interrupted threads 18 are separated by opposing faces 20 and 22. Faces 20 and 22 form cutting surfaces which allow distal tip 16 of pin component 12 to be self-tapping with respect to hard structure such as, for example, bone.
- Sleeve component 14 also has interrupted threads 24 at a distal end thereof which are separated by opposing faces 26 and 28 which allow the distal end of sleeve component 14 to be self-tapping.
- Sleeve component 14 also includes a continuous thread 30 on the outer surface thereof. Thread 30 extends from a proximal end of interrupted thread 24 to a proximal end of sleeve component 14. As shown, when assembled, interrupted threads 18 of pin component 12 match with the interrupted threads 24 of sleeve component 14.
- pin component 12 includes an elongated shaft 32 extending and channels 36a and 36b are connected by a transverse bore 40 through a different face or part of shaft 32.
- transverse bores 38 and 40 are angled in a proximal/distal direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. Additionally, bores 38 and 40 are angled relative to each other.
- Channels 34a, 34b and 36a, 36b are preferably semi cylindrical and of greater diameter than the largest diameter suture to be used therein.
- transverse bores 38 and 40 are also of a greater diameter than the largest suture to be used therein.
- the sutures used with suture screw 10 are freely slidable therein.
- the cross section of shaft 32 is shown to be hexagonal, other configurations of cross sections, such as, for example, oval square, are also contemplated. The non-circular cross sections prevent rotation of pin 12 relative to sleeve 14 during insertion into bone.

- Pin component 12 also has a chamfered or rounded proximal end 44 to prevent fraying of sutures.
- Sleeve component 14 is shown with interrupted threads 24 and continuous threads 30.
- Sleeve component 14 has a longitudinal throughbore 46 having a hexagonal cross section for receipt of elongated shaft 32 of pin component 12. When assembled, a flat distal face 48 of sleeve component 14 mates flush with flat face 42 of pin component 12.
- Sleeve component 14 includes opposed pairs of semi cylindrical channels 50a, 50b and 52a, 52b which are complementary to channels 34a, 34b and 36a, 36b to form cylindrical longitudinal bores in a distal section of assembled suture screwlO.
- the bores so formed are of a constant diameter larger than the largest suture to be used there through.
- Sleeve component 14 has an enlarged countersunk hexagonal bore 54 configured to receive and mate with a driver tip of an installation tool for driving suture screw 10 into bone.

Sutures 100 and 120 are then threaded through bores 30 and/or 40 and the sutures are positioned in channels 34a, 34b and 36a, 36b. The free ends of the sutures are threaded through longitudinal throughbore 46 of sleeve component 14 and pin component 12.
- sleeve component 14 and pin component 12 are assembled by inserting shaft 32 into longitudinal throughbore 46 until flat faces 42, 48 meet flush. Care should be taken to ensure channels 50a, 50b and 52a, 52b align with the corresponding channels in pin component 12 so that the sutures remain freely slidable within suture screw 10.
- the free ends of the sutures 100, 120 are then passed through a bore 130 in installation tool 140 and a hexagonal tip 150 of tool 140 is positioned in hexagonal counter bore 54 of sleeve component 14. Proximal tension on the sutures and distal pressure on sleeve component 14 by the installation tool help maintain suture screw 10 in its assembled state.
- the installation tool is then used to drive suture screw 10 into a predrilled pilot hole B in bone A. Referring to FIG. 10, as discussed above, suture screw 10 is self-tapping.
- sutures 100, 120 are affixed to tissue C. Thereafter, the opposing free ends of the sutures

- interrupted threads 58 (not shown) separated by faces 60, 62 (not shown) and continuous thread
- sleeve component 56 In contrast to sleeve component 14, sleeve component 56 does not have a
- countersunk bore and includes channels 68a, 68b and 70a, 70b which extend completely along the inner surface of bore 66. Similar to that of sleeve component 14. Channels 68a, 68b and 70a,
- the installation tool used with sleeve component 56 would have a corresponding hexagonal shaped driving tip for driving insertion in bore 66. To allow sutures to remain slidable, it would be necessary to form complimentary channels in the outer surface of the installation tool tip .
- Suture screw 72 utilizes pin component 12 but has an alternative embodiment of a sleeve component 74.
- Sleeve component 74 has similar outer surface characteristics as previously described sleeve components but has a proximal hexagonal shaped projection 76 for engagement with driver tool 160.
