Methods and devices for suture anchor continuous compression

An implant comprising:

• a suture;
• and
• a first bone anchor comprising:
• an outer body comprising an outer surface configured to engage a first bone, an opening at a proximal end of the outer body configured to pass the suture therethrough, and an inner channel, wherein a distal-most end of the suture is disposed within the inner channel,
• a resilient element disposed within the inner channel of the outer body and being deformable between a first state and a second state, and
• a suture coupler disposed within the inner channel of the outer body, the suture coupler configured to couple to the suture, and engage to the resilient element such that a force on the suture coupler in a proximal direction results in deformation of the resilient element to the second state and proximal translation of the suture coupler in relation to the outer body and a release of the force results in a return of the resilient element to the first state and distal translation of the suture coupler,
• wherein the resilient element is disposed (i) proximal to a proximal-most end of the suture coupler, or (ii) distal to a distal-most end of the suture coupler.
