The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for securing tissue to bone using a suture anchoring system that provides enhanced tactile feedback and does not require tying a suture knot. In each embodiment, a surgeon can individually tension the free ends of the suture to fine-tune the placement of the tissue with respect to the bone, and then secure the suture without tying a knot. In several embodiments of the present invention, the device may be transformed between locked and unlocked suture states, thereby allowing further fine-tuning of the tension in the suture.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés pour fixer un tissu à un os, à l'aide d'un système d'ancrage par suture, permettant d'avoir une meilleure perception tactile et ne requérant pas noeud de suture. Dans chaque mode de réalisation, un chirurgien peut tendre les extrémités libres de la suture pour affiner le positionnement du tissu par rapport à l'os, puis fixer la suture, sans faire de noeud. Dans plusieurs modes de réalisation de la présente invention, le dispositif peut être transformé pour passer d'états de suture fermée à des états de suture non fermée, ce qui permet d'affiner encore davantage la tension dans la suture.
