Zusammenfassung:Suture anchors and methods for use are provided. A suture anchor can include an elongate body configured to be implanted in bone. The elongate body can have a distal and a proximal end, and at least one bone-engaging feature arranged on an outer surface. At least a portion of the elongate body can be attached to a soft tissue structure in need of being reattached to bone. The elongate body can have a delivery configuration that is different than a deployed configuration, and a change in the configuration of the elongate body can be effected by the application of at least two substantially opposed forces to the elongate body.
