Zusammenfassung:	There is disclosed an apparatus and method of manufacture relating to a pre-sutured, high-strength allograft tendon construct (100). One embodiment of the allograft tendon construct (100) includes first and second tendon lengths (102-1, 102-2) that are positioned longitudinally in parallel to one another. A whip stitched pattern (108) secures the first and second tendon lengths at a free end (112), forming a stitched end portion (104) that abuts an unstitched middle portion (110). The whip stitched pattern includes a plurality of sutures that originate adjacent to the free end and progress or advance inward toward the unstitched middle portion.
