Knotless all suture tissue repair

A method of securing a bone to a repair tissue with an anchor assembly, without the need to tie a knot, the method comprising:

• placing the anchor assembly into the bone, the anchor assembly including an all-suture anchor body and a suture interwoven repeated along and through the all-suture anchor body, the all-suture anchor body being tubular and including a proximal and distal region and wherein placing locates the distal region distally in the bone, and wherein the suture includes a lumen and has a suture end extending proximally from the all-suture anchor body and a suture repair loop, the suture repair loop including;
• a knotless locking region wherein the suture is passed through the suture lumen, the knotless locking region interwoven repeatedly along and through the all-suture anchor body, the suture fixedly coupled to the all-suture anchor body to maintain the knotless locking region location relative to the all-suture anchor body;
• and
• a tissue loop portion extending proximally from the all-suture anchor body proximal region;
• expanding the all-suture anchor body after placing the anchor assembly to secure the anchor assembly with the bone;
• and
• applying tension to the suture end to reduce the suture repair loop.

• a knotless locking region wherein the suture is passed through the suture lumen, the knotless locking region interwoven repeatedly along and through a first side of the all-suture anchor body, the suture also fixedly coupled to the distal region of the all-suture anchor body and distal to the knotless locking region to maintain the knotless locking region location relative to the all-suture anchor body;
• and
• a tissue loop portion extending proximally from the all-suture anchor body proximal region;
• expanding the all-suture anchor body after placing the anchor assembly to secure the anchor assembly with the bone;
• applying tension to the suture end to reduce the suture repair loop and then
• applying tension to the suture end to radially decrease the knotless locking region and knotlessly lock the suture repair loop.
