Knotless all suture tissue repair

A method of securing a bone to a repair tissue without the need to tie a knot, the method including;

• obtaining an anchor assembly, the anchor assembly including an anchor body, a suture and a snare construct, the anchor body comprising a tubular braided body defining a distal region and a proximal region, the suture defining a lumen and interwoven repeatedly along and through the tubular braided body such that an end of the suture extends proximally from the anchor body, the snare construct extends within a length of the suture lumen in a region of the suture interwoven repeatedly through the tubular braided body to define a knotless locking region of the suture axially coextensive with the tubular braided body, and wherein a portion of the suture is coupled to the anchor body to maintain a location of the knotless locking region relative to the anchor body;
• locating the anchor assembly in the bone, such that the anchor body distal region is located distally in the bone;
• applying tension on the suture end to set the anchor body within the bone;
• coupling the suture end to the repair tissue and then coupling the suture end to the snare construct, and, withdrawing the snare construct to draw the suture end into and along the knotless locking region as well as through and along the anchor body to define a suture repair loop coupled to the repair tissue;
• and
• applying tension on the suture end to radially decrease the knotless locking region and knotlessly lock the suture repair loop.
