Abstract:
1. A fixation device comprising: a member defining at least one opening; and a suture comprising a knot and loop configuration tied to the member, the suture tied by passing the suture through the at least one opening in the member to form two suture loops through which ends of the suture pass; wherein the knot and loop configuration is created by passing an end of the suture down through a second opening and up through a first opening, creating a first suture loop; folding the suture over on itself, around the length of suture extending up from the second opening, and passed back down the first opening, creating a first interconnecting loop; passing the suture up through the first opening, creating a second suture loop; passing the suture through first interconnecting loop, and folding the suture over on itself, and passing the suture back down the second opening, creating another interconnecting loop interconnected with the first interconnecting loop, passed up through the first opening; and creating third suture loop, and passing the third suture loop through the another interconnecting loop.
