According to one example, the device can include an outer body and an inner member. The outer body can comprise a shell with an outer surface configured to engage the bone of a patient and an inner passage extending longitudinally from a proximal end portion toward a distal end portion. The inner member can be configured to be disposed within the outer body and can be moveable along the inner passage relative to the outer body between a first position and a second position. The inner member can be configured with an eyelet to receive and pass a suture through the member and at least one of the outer body and the inner member can have a first groove extending generally longitudinally along at least a portion thereof. The first groove can be configured to receive the suture therein.
