A novel suture anchor assembly (1) is provided which comprises a novel suture anchor (5), a suture (10) attached to the suture anchor, and a novel inserter (15) for deploying the suture anchor in bone whereby the suture will extend from, and be anchored to the bone. The novel suture anchor generally comprises a drill portion (35), a thread portion (30), and a suture attachment portion (75). The drill portion is disposed on a distal portion of the anchor and is adapted to penetrate the bone when the drill portion is pressed against the bone and the anchor is rotated about its longitudinal axis. The thread portion extends along at least a portion of the length of the anchor and is adapted to draw the anchor through the bone when the anchor is rotated.

L'ensemble d'ancre (1) de suture de la présente invention est constitué d'une ancre de suture (5) caractéristique de l'invention, d'un fil de suture (10) fixé sur l'ancre de suture, d'un introducteur (15) également caractéristique de l'invention et permettant de déployer le fil de suture dans l'os de façon que le fil de suture parte de l'os auquel il est ancré. L'ancre de suture de la présente invention est constituée d'une partie perforante (35), d'une partie filetée (30) et d'une zone de fixation (75) du fil de suture. La partie perforante, à l'extrémité distale de l'ancre, est conçue pour pénétrer l'os sous l'effet d'une pression contre l'os accompagnée d'une rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal. La partie filetée, qui se développe sur une partie au moins de la longueur de l'ancre, est conçue pour entraîner l'ancre par traction dans l'os sous l'effet de la rotation de l'ancre.
