Abstract

See full text

A method of fixating soft tissue to bone using a bone anchor connected to a construct formed of a suture strand passing through the anchor and a shuttle device passing through a splice region of the suture strand. After installing the anchor in bone, an end of the suture strand is passed around or through soft tissue to be fixated, and then the end of the suture strand is inserted into an eyelet of the shuttling device. By pulling on the opposite end of the shuttling device, the end of the suture strand is passed through the splice region of the flexible strand, thereby forming a knotless closed loop having an adjustable perimeter. As the loop is tightened, the soft tissue is tensioned against the bone.
