Apparatus and methods for tissue fixation/attachment/reattachment using a knotless tensionable suture construct. The knotless tensionable suture construct is a self-tensioning suture loop that can be tensioned and retensioned after the repair and can be cycled few times. The self-tensioning suture loop is formed of: (i) a simple metal surgical needle with a thin loop off the base of it to allow suture to slide through it (ii) a single strand of surgical suture which can be of various sizes and colors (iii) a large knot which is tied to create a large bulge to fix the construct to the device (this can be a knot or secondary piece of material, like a button) (iv) a splice formed by the single strand of suture going back through itself, the splice locking the suture in place and (v) a suture tail that is pulled to reduce the loop size of the construct and tension the repair.
