• i. a flexible suture anchor sleeve,
• ii. a sliding suture, having a first end and a second end, and engaging with said flexible suture anchor sleeve;
• and
• iii. a shuttle having a shuttle loop and a free end, said free end opposed to said shuttle loop, a portion of said shuttle engaging with said flexible suture anchor sleeve, said free end and said shuttle loop extending outside of said flexible suture anchor sleeve;
• pushing said flexible suture anchor sleeve into said pilot hole;
• passing a first end of said sliding suture around said target tissue and engaging said first end to said shuttle loop to create a cinchable loop;
• pulling on said free end of said shuttle to pull said shuttle loop and a portion of said first end of sliding suture into said flexible suture anchor sleeve;
• and
• retaining a least a portion of said shuttle loop within said flexible suture anchor sleeve to wedge said portion of said shuttle loop and a portion of said first end of said sliding suture within said flexible suture anchor sleeve, wherein said suture assembly holds said target tissue to bone.
