To provide a knotless cord that is capable of exerting sufficient tensile strength of a fibrous body. A knotless cord has a sleeve and a fibrous body inserted into the sleeve, wherein the sleeve and the fibrous body are connected to each other by applying tension in a longitudinal direction of the sleeve and then tightening the sleeve. Moreover, in the knotless cord a locking portion for preventing the fibrous body from slipping out of the sleeve is provided in at least two sections (first locking portion, second locking portion). Therefore, stress generated by applying tension is dispersed throughout the entire fibrous body, while preventing the fibrous body from slipping out of the sleeve, whereby stress concentration occurring in each locking portion is alleviated.
A knotless cord, which comprises a sleeve and a fibrous body inserted into the sleeve, and is constituted by connecting the sleeve and the fibrous body to each other by applying tension in a longitudinal direction of the sleeve and then tightening the sleeve, wherein
