A bone anchor for attaching a suture thread or ligament comprises a main body extending along a longitudinal axis and having a fork-shaped end portion. The end portion is provided with a first and a second fork arm each extending between a constrained end and a free end and spaced apart by an axial slit for receiving a suture thread. Said first and second fork arms have, at their constrained ends, a transverse notch defining two axial retention shoulders for the suture thread.
