Abstract

The present invention pertains to a hollow two-section implantation knotless suture anchor which comprises a main body, a tightening element and a taper. The main body comprises a front part, a rear part, a middle part, a first penetration part, a first accommodation space, a first thread, a tapered structure, and a perforation. The tightening element comprises a second penetration part and a second accommodation space. The taper comprises a taper body and a taper head. Moreover, the suture can pass through the perforation on the outside of the main body through the perforation. Afterthat it can pass through the first accommodation space and then the second accommodation space on the outside of the tightening element from the side of the tightening element opposite to the main body. Finally, it can extend on the outside of the main body. Hence, by pulling the ends of the suture, the tightness of the suture tightened by the tightening element and the front part is adjustable. Also, when the taper body of the first penetration and the second penetration is positioned, the taper head is next to the tightening element. Thus, by rotating the taper, both the main body and the tightening element are rotatable.
