Bone anchor having improved fixation strength

A method of surgical repair comprising:

• inserting an anchor into a bone hole, the anchor comprising:
• a generally elongated body extending from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis, a distal portion of the body tapered toward a tip;
• an eyelet formed through the body, extending transverse to the longitudinal axis, and dimensioned to receive a suture;
• a plurality of first channels formed within an outer surface of the body and extending from a region proximal to the eyelet distally along at least a portion of the body, adjacent sides of each of the plurality of first channels sharing a sharp-tipped root, the adjacent sides of each of the plurality of first channels being straight from the shared root to a vertex along an entire length of the first channels;
• a plurality of second channels formed within the outer surface of the body and extending proximally from the eyelet, a width of the second channels selected to be greater than a width of the first channels and dimensioned to receive a suture;
• and
• a plurality of circumferentially spaced ribs defined between the first channels;
• wherein a diameter of the body at any fixed point along a length of the body does not expand radially.
