[0002] In the field of sports medicine, anchors are an important medical device widely used in joint repair surgeries such as shoulder, knee, and ankle. During the surgery, sports medicine anchors are usually vertically implanted into the bone surface of the injured area and fixed in the bone by means of threads or expansion wings. With the help of sutures or bandages, the soft tissue is firmly fixed to the bone surface, thereby maintaining a stable position until healing.

[0003] Currently, after doctors finish suturing with sutures, they tie the sutures into knots and then pull them tight. The suture ends are directly exposed on the surface of the soft tissue. During the soft tissue healing process, the soft tissue will directly wrap around the suture ends, and there is a risk that the suture ends will loosen. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an orthopedic medical anchor that has the advantage of embedding the suture end within the anchor cavity, thus avoiding the problem of the suture end being exposed on the outside of soft tissue.
