Zusammenfassung:Devices, systems and/or methods for fixating soft tissue to bone are provided. In one embodiment, a repair device for fixating soft tissue to bone with a bone anchor includes a soft tissue anchor andone or more flexible members. The soft tissue anchor includes a base with multiple legs extending from the base. The one or more flexible members are coupled to the base and configured to extend fromthe base to the bone anchor with a fixed length. With this arrangement, the fixed length of the one or more flexible members is configured to maintain a substantially fixed pre-determined distance between the soft tissue anchor and the bone anchor such that, as the bone anchor is seated into bone, the one or more flexible members pulls the soft tissue anchor down against the soft tissue to fixatethe soft tissue to the bone. 提供用于将软组织固定到骨的装置、系统和/或方法。在一个实施例中,用于利用骨锚固件将软组织固定到骨的修复装置包括软组织锚固件和一个或多个柔性构件。所述软组织锚固件包括基座,所述基座具有从所述基座延伸的多个支腿。所述一个或多个柔性构件联接到所述基座并且被构造成以固定长度从所述基座延伸到所述骨锚固件。利用此布置,所述一个或多个柔性构件的所述固定长度被构造成在所述软组织锚固件与所述骨锚固件之间维持基本
