摘要：
A surgical filament snare assembly including an anchor capable of beingfixated inbone and having a filament engagement feature. A first filament has a noosewith first andsecond noose limbs connected, preferably slidably connected, to the filamentengagementfeature of the anchor. The first and second noose limbs emerge from the anchoras firstand second free filament limbs which are capable of being passed throughtissue to berepaired and then passable through the noose. The noose, such as one or morehalf-hitches,is capable of receiving the free filament limbs and strangulating them whentension isapplied to at least one of the free filament limbs and the noose to enableincrementaltensioning of the tissue after the anchor is fixated. Preferably, the snareassembly furtherincludes a flexible sleeve joining at least some portion of the first andsecond free filamentlimbs to facilitate passing of the free filament limbs at least through thetissue as a singleunit.
