Disclosed herein are methods and devices for securing soft tissue 804 to a rigid material such as bone 806. A bone anchor 810 is described that comprises a base and a top such that suture material 808 may be compressed between surfaces on the base and top to secure the suture 808 to the anchor 810. Also described is an inserter 812 that can be used to insert the bone anchor 808 into bone 806 and move the anchor top relative to the anchor base to clamp suture material 808 there between. Also described is a soft-tissue 804 and bone 806 piercing anchor 800 and associated inserter 802. Methods are described that allow use of the bone anchors 800 and 810 to provide multiple lengths of suture material to compress a large area of soft tissue 804 against bone 806.

L'invention concerne des méthodes et des dispositifs de fixation de tissu mou (804) à une matière rigide telle que l'os (806). Une ancre osseuse (810) est présentée laquelle comprend une base et une partie supérieure de telle sorte que le matériau de suture (808) peut être comprimé entre les surfaces se trouvant sur la base et la partie supérieure afin de fixer la suture (808) à l'ancre (810). L'invention concerne également un élément d'insertion (812) pouvant être utilisé pour insérer l'ancre osseuse (808) dans l'os (806) et pour déplacer la partie supérieure de l'ancre par rapport à la base de l'ancre afin de serrer le matériau de suture (808) entre celles-ci. L'invention concerne également une ancre (800) perçant le tissu mou (804) et l'os (806) ainsi que l'élément d'insertion associé (802). Des procédés décrits permettent l'utilisation des ancres osseuses (800) et (810) pour produire des longueurs multiples de matériau de suture afin de comprimer une grande surface de tissu mou (804) contre l'os (806).
