The body portion includes a trabecular mesh core that at least partially defines a central bore between the first end and the second end. The trabecular mesh core includes a plurality of openings configured to receive/allow/facilitate bone growth through the trabecular mesh core. The body portion also includes at least one thread extending spirally along an exterior of the trabecular mesh core. The anchor device further includes a post at least partially positioned within the central bore and rotatably coupled to the body portion, wherein the post comprises a fork extending from the second end of the body portion and configured to attach soft tissue to the bone using the suture material. The body portion and the post are additively manufactured from a biocompatible material.
