A sterile suture anchor comprising a body with a distal end, tapered planar side walls and a dome shaped proximal end, a cross section of said body forming a triangular shape with at least one rounded end; and a suture aperture transversely cut through the body being dimensioned to hold at least one suture. An insertion tool for inserting the suture anchor through a substantially cylindrical bore hole in a live human bone and causing the suture anchor to be anchored comprises a handle, a hollow tube secured to the handle and a driver rod slidably mounted in the tube. The driver rod has a distal end defining an angled cam which engages a suture anchor mounted in said tube and rotates the suture anchor into a desired position for insertion into human tissue. A finger driver assembly is mounted on the handle and is secured to the driver and so that movement of the finger driver assembly causes the driver rod to be moved within the hollow tube causing the driver rod cam end to engage the suture anchor and turn the suture anchor in a predetermined orientation for anchoring in the bore hole.
