1. A system for securing soft tissue relative to a bone, comprising: a tissue anchor comprising a rectangular body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a channel extending through the body from the top surface to the bottom surface and at an angle other than perpendicular to the top and bottom surfaces, and at least one bore hole extending through the body from the top surface to the bottom surface;an inserter rod having a longitudinal length and adapted to be positioned through the channel of the tissue anchor wherein a first portion of the length of the inserter rod extends past the bottom surface, a second portion extends from the bottom surface to the top surface through the channel, and a third portion extends past the top surface; andan engagement structure on at least one of the channel or the inserter rod adapted to removeably affix the tissue anchor to the inserter rod. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the engagement structure comprises a taper along at least the second portion of the longitudinal length of the inserter rod. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the engagement structure comprises a threaded portion along at least the second portion of the longitudinal length of the inserter rod. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the engagement structure further comprises a matching threaded portion along at least a portion of an inner surface of the channel. 5. A system for securing soft tissue relative to a bone, comprising: a tissue anchor comprising a body having a first longitudinal axis, at least one bore hole and a first engagement structure, the first engagement structure comprising one of a hook or an eyelet; andan elongated inserter rod including a second longitudinal axis and a second engagement structure, the second engagement structure comprising the other of the hook or the eyelet to removeably affix the inserter rod to the tissue anchor by positioning the hook within or through the eyelet,wherein with the first and second engagement structures affixed to one another, the first and second axes are parallel to one another and spaced apart from one another. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the engagement structure of the tissue anchor is positioned towards an end portion of the body. 7. The system of claim 5, wherein the engagement structure of the inserter rod is positioned towards an end portion of the inserter rod. 8. A system for securing soft tissue relative to a bone, comprising: a tissue anchor comprising a rectangular body having a top surface and a bottom surface extending along a length of the body, the length being greater than a height defined by a distance between the top and the bottom surfaces, at least one bore hole and a channel extending through the body from the top surface to the bottom surface, the channel comprising a first diameter at one end adjacent the top surface, a second diameter at a middle portion, and a third diameter at a second end adjacent the bottom surface, wherein the second diameter is smaller than the first or third diameters;an inserter rod having a longitudinal length and adapted to be positioned within the channel of the tissue anchor such that the length of the body is not parallel with the length of the inserter rod; andan engagement structure adapted to be positioned within the channel to removeably affix the tissue anchor to the inserter rod. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the channel passes through the body at a transverse angle to the body. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the engagement structure is positioned adjacent to the middle portion having the second diameter. 11. The system of claim 8, wherein the engagement structure comprises a substantially cylindrical shape having a throughbore and adapted to rotate while positioned within the channel. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the inserter rod is adapted to pass through the throughbore of the engagement structure such that the inserter rod extends from both ends of the channel. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the inserter rod further comprises a threaded portion along at least a portion of the longitudinal length, and the engagement structure further comprises a matching threaded portion positioned along at least a portion of the throughbore to releaseably affix the engagement structure to the inserter rod. 14. The system of claim 13, the system further comprising a guide pin which is removeably affixed to the inserter rod. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein the tissue anchor and inserter rod can rotate relative to one another until the ends of the inserter rod contact an inner surface of the channel defined by the first and third diameters. 16. The system of claim 8, wherein the inserter rod and engagement structure are fixedly secured to one another. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the engagement structure is adapted to be removeably affixed within the channel of the tissue anchor by a press-fit.
