The invention relates to a suture anchor for anchoring a suture (7) in a bone, wherein a hole for the suture anchor is formed in the bone. The suture anchor is manufactured preferably of biodegradable material. The suture anchor comprises an elongated anchor body (1) provided with a suture channel (K) in which the suture (7) is placed for binding the suture (7) to the anchor body (1), which is composed of two elongated longitudinal guides (3, 4) substantially aligned with the longitudinal direction of the anchor body (1) and a turning portion (5) connecting them at the ends of their head (1a) side. The turning portion (5) is formed substantially in a manner that it is aligned with the longitudinal dimension of the suture anchor, wherein the turning point at the head of the turning portion (5) is situated at a longitudinal distance from the junctions (5a, 5b) of the longitudinal guides (3, 4) and the turning portion (5).
