Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a suture anchor using a suture and a prepared suture anchor. A knitting member ( 100 ) cut at a predetermined width and length while having a plurality of knots ( 10 a ) is inserted into a hole 1 a of a bone 1 using an anchor inserting device 200 , and a second suture 20 provided between one knot 10 a of the plurality of knots and another knot 10 a thereof is pulled rearwards, and thus the knitting member ( 100 ) is deformed from a long rod shape to a lump shape the bone 1 . Accordingly, the knitting member ( 100 ) has a volume larger than a diameter of the hole 1 a , and the knitting member ( 100 ) deformed into the lump shape is configured not to be removed from the hole 1 a of the bone 1 even when the second suture 20 is further pulled in a rear direction.

Claims (5)

1. A suture having a suture anchor, comprising:

biologically compatible first sutures configured as rows of sutures constituting a pair and knitted to continuously form a plurality of knitted knots, wherein the knitted knots are cut and bonded to a predetermined length to form a knitting member having a predetermined width and a predetermined length; and

at least one second suture configured to attach to a soft tissue for sewing provided between each of the plurality of the knitted knots in a longitudinal direction of the knitting member by sewing in a long line.

2. The suture of claim 1 , wherein when the knitting member is inserted into an anatomical location and when the at least one second suture is pulled rearwards, the knitting member is deformed from a long rod shape to a lump shape and is increased in diameter to be larger than a diameter of the anatomical location.

3. The suture of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second suture attaches to a damaged joint membrane, a cartilage, a muscle, or a ligament.
