A pre-sutured allograft construct and method of manufacture for repairing, replacing, reconstructing, or augmenting a hip or shoulder labrum may include a folded tissue portion extending from a first end to a second end and forming top, middle, and bottom folds. A stitched pattern secures the folded tissue portion into a graft roll having an overall length extending from a first adjustable region, through a central region, and through a second adjustable region. A continuous series of whip stitches extends from the first adjustable region, through the central region, and through the second adjustable region. A series of triple circumferential stitches overlays the whip stitches in the first and the second adjustable regions, while a series of circumferential stitches alternates with the whip stitches in the central region. The construct is pre-manufactured as an allograft product, but is adjustable during the surgical procedure within the body. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
