Abstract
An implant and suture locking system is provided. The implant can include a lateral or distal anchor, and a medial or proximal anchor. One or more suture loops can extend between and operatively connect the anchors. A medial suture loop can extend through apertures in the medial anchor to provide efficient and easily adjustable tensioning and suture locking for the implant.
