Flexible implant with adjustable coils

A surgical method, comprising:

• forming an implant-passing tunnel in a bone by inserting a guidewire through a thickness of the bone;
• passing a drilling tool into the implant-passing tunnel of the bone to increase a portion of the implant-passing tunnel to form a distal graft tunnel, the distal graft tunnel being positioned distal to the implant-passing tunnel and terminating proximally within the thickness of the bone;
• loading a graft onto one or more coils of a suture filament that is coupled to a filament body, the filament body having the suture filament extending therethrough at two or more separate locations to form the one or more coils with each coil of the one or more coils defining an opening that is configured to engage the graft, the suture filament having a slidable portion formed therefrom such that movement of the slidable portion towards and away from the filament body causes a size of at least one opening of the one or more coils to change, and a tensioning tail extending from the slidable portion that is configured to move the slidable portion to change the size of the at least one opening of the one or more coils;
• pulling the suture filament, the filament body, and the graft proximally into the distal graft tunnel, and at least the suture filament and the filament body into the implant-passing tunnel until the filament body is disposed outside of the implant-passing tunnel such that at least a portion of the suture filament is disposed in the implant-passing tunnel, and at least a portion of the graft is disposed in the distal graft tunnel;
• and
• actuating the filament body that is disposed external to the implant-passing tunnel and the distal graft tunnel,
• wherein the suture filament includes a hollow portion, and the slidable portion comprises a portion of the suture filament being disposed within the hollow portion, the portion of the suture filament disposed within the hollow portion being adjustable by applying tension to the tensioning tail.
