Devices, systems, and methods for suture management

A suture anchor insertion assembly, comprising:

• a handle;
• an elongate shaft extending distally from the handle, the elongate shaft having a channel formed along at least a portion of a length of the elongate shaft and a distal end in communication with the channel that is configured to engage a suture anchor;
• and
• a ring slidably disposed around the elongate shaft through a central opening formed in the ring, the ring being defined between an inner portion and an outer portion such that the central opening has a substantially uniform inner diameter that extends continuously through the inner and the outer portion, the outer portion having a plurality of slots formed therein that are configured to engage a plurality of suture filaments extending from a suture anchor engaged by the distal end of the elongate shaft, the plurality of suture filaments extending from a slot of the shaft,
• wherein the ring is configured such that a first filament of the plurality of suture filaments can be disposed in the plurality of slots to maintain at least one of a position or a tension thereof while a second filament of the plurality of filaments can be manipulated in conjunction with using the second filament to perform at least a portion of a surgical procedure at a surgical site.
