A bone anchor device for attaching connective tissue to bone comprises an anchor body, a plurality of suture retaining apertures disposed in the anchor body, and deployable structure for securing the anchor body in bone. A longitudinal axis is disposed along a center of the anchor body, wherein the plurality of suture retaining apertures are spaced axially relative to one another. Additionally, in preferred embodiments, at least two of the plurality of suture retaining apertures are transversely offset from one another relative to the longitudinal axis, in staggered relation. Preferably, the deployable structure comprises a pair of deployable flaps. The anchor body comprises a substantially planar surface in which the plurality of suture retaining apertures are disposed. In its presently preferred embodiment, the anchor body comprises opposing substantially flat surfaces, wherein the plurality of suture retaining apertures extend through the entire anchor body. A stem extends proximally from a proximal end of the anchor body.

A suturing instrument and method for placing mattress stitches in soft tissues is described. An elongate shaft with a stationary jaw and a moveable jaw disposed at the distal end is coupled to a handle grip at the proximal end configured to manipulate the jaws into open and closed positions. The jaws are configured to allow for atraumatic grasping of soft tissues. The stationary jaw is comprised of a serrated face incorporating apertures through which needles attached to opposite ends of a single strand of suture material may be driven out into and through grasped tissue. The serrated upper jaw is configured with needle catch adapted to accept and capture the needles and suture. The handle is released to open the moveable jaw, the instrument may be withdrawn, trailing the suture, and leaving a mattress stitch in the grasped tissue.

A bone anchor and methods for using same to secure connective tissue, such as tendons, to bone are disclosed which permit a suture attachment that lies entirely beneath the cortical bone surface. The bone anchor of the invention incorporates a deformable body that creates an increased anchor body diameter after it is inserted into the cancellous bone and deployed beneath the cortical surface of the bone. The increased body diameter, by virtue of its intrinsic geometry, creates both axial and rotational fixation of the bone anchor or suture fixation point.
