An apparatus for tissue repair includes first and second fixation members configured to secure tissue together, a flexible coupling member coupling the first and second fixation members, a first flexible pull member attached to the first fixation member but not the second fixation member, and a second flexible pull member attached to the second fixation member but not the first fixation member. A surgical method for repairing a wound in a rotator cuff includes forming a first and second channel through tissue, advancing a first flexible member and a first fixation member coupled thereto through the first channel, advancing a second flexible member and a second fixation member coupled thereto through the second channel, and pulling a third flexible member coupling the first and second fixation members to shorten a length of the third flexible member between the first and second fixation members. A surgical method includes pulling a first implant through soft tissue of a rotator cuff cross a tear in the tissue to position the first implant on a first side of the tear and a second implant, coupled to the first implant by a flexible coupling member, on a second side of the tear with the flexible coupling member traversing the tear, and pulling the flexible coupling member to shorten a length of the flexible coupling member between the first and second implants to move the implants against the soft tissue to close the tear.組織修復のための装置は、組織を相互に固定するように構成された第1および第2の固定部材と、第1の固定部材と第2の固定部材を連結する可撓性の連結部材と、第2の固定部材ではなく、第1の固定部材に取り付けられた第1の可撓性の引っ張り部材と、第1の固定部材ではなく、第2の固定部材に取り付けられた第2の可撓性の引っ張り部材とを含む。回旋筋腱板の創を修復するための手術方法も開示される。
