Zusammenfassung:Tissue fixation and repair constructs and methods of repair using the same are provided. An exemplary tissue fixation and repair construct can include a first implantable anchor coupled to a suture having a fixed tail and a tensioning tail. The fixed tail can include an overhand knot located distally adjacent to the finger trap, such that the overhand knot substantially abuts the finger trap when adjacent thereto, a fixed stopper knot configured to prevent further movement of the fixed tail through a second implantable anchor when the second implantable anchor is placed onto the suture, and a finger trap. The tensioning tail can be passed through the finger trap and overhand knot, and can be used to adjust the tension of the tissue fixation and repair construct when the first implantable anchor and the second implantable anchor are inserted into bone.
