Method and Apparatus for Coupling Soft Tissue to a Bone

A method for use in coupling soft tissue to bone, comprising:

• forming a bore in a bone of a patient;
• positioning a first anchor in the bore of the bone, the first anchor having a self-locking adjustable suture construct extending therefrom, the adjustable suture construct having first and second adjustable loops extending from a passage portion and being adjustable relative thereto, the first anchor coupled to the passage portion;
• positioning the first adjustable loop about a first portion of the soft tissue;
• positioning the second adjustable loop about a second portion of the soft tissue different than the first portion;
• coupling a coupling element carried by the second adjustable loop to the first adjustable loop to form a loop structure over at least a portion of the soft tissue;
• and
• tensioning first and second ends of the adjustable suture construct to reduce a size of the first and second adjustable loops relative to the passage portion to thereby reduce a size of the loop structure and couple the soft tissue to the bone.

An apparatus for use in coupling soft tissue to bone, comprising:

• a self-locking adjustable suture construct having a suture body extending between first and second ends, the suture body defining a passage portion, the first end being passed into and through the passage portion to place the first end outside of the passage portion and form a first adjustable loop, the second end being passed into and through the passage portion to place the second end outside of the passage portion and form a second adjustable loop;
• a first anchor coupled to the passage portion;
• and
• a second anchor coupled to the second adjustable loop.
