Two suture anchor

1. A suture anchor comprising;

an entry tip integral to a hollow cylindrical body, the entry tip being at a distal end and the body having a proximal end and projections formed on an external surface of the body for retaining the anchor in a pre-drilled hole formed in bone;

four suture openings formed on the tip at the distal end, each opening being connected to an internal cavity of the body; and

wherein the four suture openings are divided into two pairs, a first pair and a second pair and each first or second pair of two suture openings are recessed in a respective first or second external channel formed in the entry tip, each pair of two suture openings being configured to receive a suture and wherein one of the first external channel or second external channel is deeper than the other so the received sutures are at or below the external surface of the tip adjacent the channels at an intersection.

2. The suture anchor of claim 1 wherein the first external channel and second external channel cross in an “X” configuration intersecting a central axis of the anchor body.

3. The suture anchor of claim 1 wherein each pair of two suture openings can be threaded by a suture such that a suture end or ends of one suture pass and are pulled through the pair of openings holding a portion of the suture lying in one of the first or second external channels and a suture end or ends of another suture cross the other suture passing and pulled through the other pair of openings and a portion of the other suture being held and lying in the other channel, as the ends of both sutures pass through the body opening of the suture anchor past the proximal end.

4. The suture anchor of claim 1 wherein a channel depth at an intersection is equal to the thickness of the crossing sutures.

5. The suture anchor of claim 4 wherein the first or second external channel depth adjacent the intersection is equal to the thickness of a suture being held.
