Abstract
A knotless suture anchor construct for securing a tissue in a desired position relative to a bone hole. The construct includes an anchor body extending between first and second ends and having first and second sides. The construct also includes a filament having a first end and a second end. The filament is woven through a plurality of passing locations along the anchor body such that the first end of the filament extends from the first end of the anchor body and the second end of the filament extends from the second end of the anchor body. The construct additionally includes a first loop in the filament between a first adjacent pair of the plurality of passing locations and a second loop in the filament between a second adjacent pair of the plurality of passing locations. In a pre-deployment configuration, the second loop extends through the first loop.
