Anchor assembly including expandable anchor

An anchor assembly configured to be anchored to an anatomical location, the anchor assembly comprising:

• an anchor including an anchor body that defines an expandable portion, the expandable portion defining a direction of elongation, the anchor body defining an eyelet and a plurality of loops that are spaced from the eyelet along the direction of elongation, the plurality of loops defining a respective plurality of openings that extend through the expandable portion and are spaced from each other substantially along the direction of elongation, the expandable portion configured to be actuated from a first configuration, wherein the expandable portion defines a first maximum thickness along a second direction that is angularly offset from the direction of elongation, to an expanded configuration, wherein the expandable portion defines a second maximum thickness along the second direction that is greater than the first maximum thickness;
• and
• the anchor further including an actuation member defining a connection location that is coupled to the eyelet when the expandable portion is in the first configuration, and first and second portions that extend from the connection location along the direction of elongation, the actuation member configured such that both of the first and second portions extend from the eyelet through each of at least two of the plurality of openings, thereby defining a path along which the actuation member extends through each of the at least two of the plurality of openings when the expandable portion is in the first configuration,
• and at least one of the first and second portions of the actuation member configured to receive an actuation force and, in response to the actuation force, pull the eyelet through the expandable portion body along the path, so as to actuate the expandable portion from the first configuration to the expanded configuration.
