An anchor assembly can include an anchor comprising a proximal portion, a distal portion having a tip, and a surface extending between the tip and the proximal portion and can include a protrusion extending along a length of the surface. The anchor can define a cavity therein with a wall of the cavity having threads, an opening to the cavity located in the proximal anchor portion, and a through hole defined in a distal portion of the tip. Further, the anchor assembly can include a plug having a threaded proximal outer portion and a non-threaded distal outer portion disposed within the cavity of the anchor. The threaded proximal outer portion can be engaged with the cavity wall threads and the non-threaded distal outer portion can be configured to move axially within the anchor cavity. The anchor assembly can include a sleeve having an opening to receive the protrusion.
