Suture implant component and suture implant mechanism including such a component

A method for implanting a suture implant component, wherein the suture implant component comprises a body which extends along a longitudinal axis, the body comprising an opening configured to receive a suture, the body configured for attachment to the suture, the body further comprising a wall arranged about the longitudinal axis, the method comprising:

• inserting a rod into the body;
• inserting a sleeve over the rod, into sliding engagement with the rod;
• inserting the body and a distal end of the rod into a bone cavity;
• removing the rod from the body;
• maintaining the sleeve in place against a proximal end of the body as a tension force is applied to the suture to deform the body, in an accordion-like manner, from
• a resting configuration in which the body has a first longitudinal dimension and a first transverse dimension, to
• an active configuration in which the body has a second longitudinal dimension smaller than the first longitudinal dimension and a second transverse dimension larger than the first transverse dimension, thereby securing the body within the bone cavity.
