A soft tissue fixation device (10) for placement in a bone hole includes a body (16) having an outer surface (22). A longitudinally extending channel (24, 26, 28, 30) for receiving soft tissue (12) is defined by a portion of the outer surface (22). The body (16) is constructed to be secured in the bone hole in response to axial motion of the body into the bone hole without requiring further manipulation of the device. The channel (24, 26, 28, 30) is configured to secure soft tissue (12) located within the channel between the portion of the outer surface (22) defining the channel and a wall of the bone hole. A securing member (32, 34, 36, 38) is defined by a second portion of the outer surface for securing the body (16) in the bone hole. A rib located within the channel or a projection configured to be selectively deployed into the channel aid in securing the soft tissue (12) in the channel.

L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) de fixation de tissus mous destiné à être posé dans un orifice osseux et comprenant un corps (16) présentant une surface (22) externe. Une portion de la surface externe définit un canal (24, 26, 28, 30) longitudinal destiné à recevoir le tissu (12) mou. Le corps (16) est conçu pour être fixé dans l'orifice osseux en réponse à un mouvement axial du corps dans l'orifice osseux sans que d'autres manipulations du dispositif ne soient nécessaires. Le canal (24, 26, 28, 30) est configuré pour fixer le tissu (12) mou entre une portion de la surface (22) externe définissant le canal et une paroi de l'orifice osseux. Une seconde portion de la surface externe définit un élément (32, 34, 36, 38) de fixation permettant de fixer le corps (16) dans l'orifice osseux. Une nervure située dans le canal ou une saillie configurée pour être déployée sélectivement dans le canal contribue à fixer le tissu (12) mou dans le canal.
