Knotless instability suture anchor construct and system

Abstract

An anchor construct having an anchor having a length of suture material passing therethrough, the suture material having a loop strand terminating at a first end and a post strand terminating at a second end, a splice loop formed by first end, a sliding construct formed by the first end and the second end, wherein the sliding construct is configured to adjust the relative position of the splice loop and the anchor. The anchor construct can be deployed by passing the first end through a first body and through the splice, creating a locking loop of a first size around the first body, implanting the anchor into a bone hole, pulling the post strand to decrease the perimeter of the positioning loop to a second size smaller than the first size, and pulling the loop strand to decrease the perimeter of the locking loop to a smaller second size.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A knotless instability suture anchor construct, comprising:
 an anchor having a length of suture material passing therethrough, the suture material having a loop strand terminating at a first end and a post strand terminating at a second end;   a splice loop formed by the first end;   a sliding construct formed by the first end and the second end;   wherein the sliding construct is configured to adjust the relative position of the splice loop and the anchor.
