A surgical system for repairing tears in soft tissue, comprising: an apparatus for meniscal repair comprising a trocar assembly having a pair of substantially parallel first and second trocars (10, 20); a suture implant construct fully seated onto the trocar assembly, the suture implant construct comprising a first anchoring member and a second anchoring member, the first anchoring member being connected to the second anchoring member by a single flexible strand; and a driver assembly for advancing the first and second trocars (10, 20) through the soft tissue to be repaired; wherein: the first anchoring member is mounted on an external surface of the first trocar and the connection of the single flexible strand to the first anchoring member is configured such that when the first anchoring member is released from the first trocar, the first anchoring member flips about 90 degrees to become secured on an exterior surface of the soft tissue; the second anchoring member is mounted on an external surface of the second trocar and the connection of the single flexible strand to the second anchoring member is configured such that when the second anchoring member is released from the second trocar, the second anchoring member flips about 90 degrees to become secured on the exterior surface of the soft tissue; and the single flexible strand connecting the first and second anchoring members (40, 50) includes a sliding knot for tensioning and removing slack in the single flexible strand after the first and second anchoring members (40, 50) are secured on the exterior surface of the tissue by tensioning the single flexible strand to advance the knot in the soft tissue, and wherein each of the first and second anchoring members (40, 50) has a cannulation in a direction about parallel to a longitudinal axis of each of the first and second anchoring members (40, 50) and through which the single flexible strand connecting the first and second anchoring members (40, 50) is inserted. an apparatus for meniscal repair comprising a trocar assembly having a pair of substantially parallel first and second trocars (10, 20);
