1. An implantable injection port assembly, comprising:

  • an injection port including a fluid reservoir below a septum capable of penetration by a needle from above the injection port;

    a tubing connector extending outward from the injection port in fluid communication with the reservoir;

    a baseplate to which the injection port is mounted, the baseplate having a plurality of apertures; and

    a fastener pivotally attached to the baseplate and capable of pivoting through an arc from an undeployed position not projecting below the baseplate to a deployed position below the baseplate, such that a tip of the fastener upon deployment projects downward through one of the apertures to pierce tissue and then curves upward to be received in another of the apertures such that the arc traveled by the fastener forms a closed loop through the tissue and enables a user to attach the port assembly to the tissue without sutures.
