Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems are provided for securing tissue to bone. A suture anchor system can include a cannulated suture anchor having at least one driven feature disposed in a lumen and a bone-engaging feature disposed on an external surface. A cannulated inserter member can have an elongate member with a lumen and can be disposed within the lumen of the anchor. The elongate member can have a drive feature that can engage the driven feature. The inner tube can be disposed within the lumen of the inserter member. The inner tube can have a lumen and a length greater than the anchor such that the inner tube extends distally beyond the anchor. A distal swivel member can have a lumen and a distal end having a suture separating feature. The distal swivel member can be mounted adjacent to the anchor and can be rotatable relative to the anchor.
