Abstract

A system and method for repairing soft tissue tears such as meniscal tears. The anchor system has a first implant connected to a length of suture. The length of suture is folded such that a tensioning limb extends from the first implant and a locking limb extends from the first implant. The anchor system also includes a second implant fixed to the locking limb and an adjustment mechanism in the length of suture between the first implant and the second implant. The tensioning limb is passed through the adjustment mechanism. This creates an adjustment loop in the length of suture extending from the adjustment mechanism through the first implant. The adjustment loop is a one-way adjustable loop for moving the first implant and second implant in relative position to each other.
