    • A suture anchor for anchoring a suture to bone is a cannulated elongate member that includes a proximal component (12, 112) which can have external threads (18, 118), a distal component (14, 114), and an intermediate component (16, 116) positioned between the distal component and the proximal component. The proximal and distal components can each be configured to move independent of one another and to move relative to the intermediate component. In this way, the proximal, intermediate, and distal components of the suture anchor can be configured to cooperate with one another to prevent removal of the suture anchor from a bone hole in which the suture anchor is disposed and to lock a suture relative to the suture anchor and to the bone hole. When disposed within a bone hole with a suture, the anchor has a first configuration in which the proximal component is threadably engaged with the bone hole, and the suture is locked by the threads but freely slidable through the intermediate component, and a second configuration in which the distal component is advanced and expanded proximally over the intermediate component, and the suture is engaged between the distal component and the intermediate component.
