Claim:
1. An implantable orthopedic repair device comprising: an implant body having a rigid tubular shape which defines an inner lumen and an orthogonal suture side hole, wherein the inner lumen runs longitudinally through a major axis of the implant body to form a first open end and second open end of the implant body; a first bone anchor adjacent the first open end of the implant body; a second bone anchor adjacent the second open end of the implant body; and a tension assembly supported by the inner lumen and suture side hole of the implant body, the tension assembly having a suture loop, the suture loop being coupled to the first bone anchor and the second bone anchor, wherein the suture loop defines a sliding knot and a suture tail that when tensioned through the suture side hole contracts the first bone anchor and the second bone anchor toward the implant body.
