Method for bone reattachment

A method for reattachment of a bone, comprising:

• positioning a prosthesis relative to a proximal portion of a first bone;
• coupling a first portion of a self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to a first attachment region of the prosthesis;
• positioning a second bone portion relative to the proximal portion of the first bone and a second bone engaging region of the prosthesis;
• coupling a second portion of the self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to the second bone portion;
• tensioning free ends of the self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to draw the second bone portion into secure engagement with the prosthesis and the first bone via the self-locking adjustable flexible member construct in an absence of a knot;
• and
• forming a bore through the second bone portion that has been at least partially separated from the first bone;
• wherein coupling the first portion of the self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to the first attachment region of the prosthesis includes coupling the first portion of the self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to a plug member.

A method for reattachment of a bone, comprising:

• positioning a prosthesis relative to a first bone portion;
• coupling a first portion of a first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to a first attachment region of the prosthesis;
• positioning a second bone portion relative to the first bone portion and a second bone engaging region of the prosthesis;
• coupling a second portion of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to the second bone portion;
• and
• tensioning free ends of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct having a body that forms a passage, wherein tensioning free ends causes the passage to constrict about portions of the self-locking adjustable flexible member construct and draws the second bone portion into secure engagement with the prosthesis and the first bone via the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct.

A method for reattachment of a bone, comprising:

• positioning a prosthesis relative to a first bone portion;
• coupling a first portion of a first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to a first attachment region of the prosthesis;
• positioning a second bone portion relative to the first bone portion and a second bone engaging region of the prosthesis;
• coupling a second portion of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to the second bone portion;
• tensioning free ends of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to draw the second bone portion into secure engagement with the prosthesis and the first bone via the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct;
• coupling a second self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to a third attachment region of the prosthesis;
• and
• positioning at least the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct and the second self-locking adjustable flexible member construct around an outer surface of the second bone portion in an overlapping manner so as to form an X-shaped pattern with the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct and the second self-locking adjustable flexible member construct.

A method for reattachment of a bone, comprising:

• positioning a prosthesis relative to a first bone portion;
• coupling a first portion of a first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to a first attachment region of the prosthesis;
• positioning a second bone portion relative to the first bone portion and a second bone engaging region of the prosthesis;
• coupling a second portion of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to the second bone portion;
• and
• tensioning free ends of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to draw the second bone portion into secure engagement with the prosthesis and the first bone via the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct;
• wherein tensioning the free ends of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct includes pulling on at least a first end of and a second end of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct that have both passed through a passage portion formed by the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct;
• wherein coupling the first portion of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to the first attachment region of the prosthesis includes passing at least a portion of the first portion of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct through an aperture formed through the prosthesis and positioning a flexible anchor slidably coupled to the first self-locking relative to the prosthesis.

• and
• tensioning free ends of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to draw the second bone portion into secure engagement with the prosthesis and the first bone via the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct;
• wherein tensioning the free ends of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct includes pulling on at least a first end of and a second end of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct that have both passed through a passage portion formed by the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct;
• wherein coupling the first portion of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct to the first attachment region of the prosthesis includes positioning the first portion of the first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct over at least one tab extending from the prosthesis.
