A non-bioabsorbable device designed to be implanted into bone for the attachment of soft tissues/tendons either directly or via a suture attached to the device; it is not dedicated to ligament anchoring. It is typically used in shoulder and some lower-limb operations, and functions as an alternative to drilling a hole in bone for passing a suture. This device is available in various designs and sizes and is made of a material that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes [e.g., titanium (Ti)].
