Surgical constructs, assemblies and methods for tissue reinforcement with a reinforcement (reinforcing) material such as suture, tape, weave, ribbon or mesh, among many others. The reinforced construct includes a reinforced section that prevents a suture from pulling apart. The reinforced section is be a piece of material (a reinforcement or reinforcing material) such as reinforced stitched suture tape attached to a flexible strand. A needle attached to the flexible strand terminating with the reinforced section passes through a proximal end of the reinforced section to form an adjustable “starter loop.” The starter loop is slid and positioned over tissue (for example, graft, tendon, ligament, etc.) and the suture is pulled apart to tighten the loop around the tissue.
