Abstract
A method of performing a tendon replacement, of a tendon connecting a first bone and a second bone, in an animal body utilizing a suture assembly that includes the following construction. A button has two apertures and a suture, engaged to the button, defines a lumen and forms a double loop, formed by a double trap that is opposed to the button. The suture assembly further defines a first single trap, and a third trap. In the method, a drill hole is drilled sequentially through the two bones. Also, a length of tendon tissue is draped over the loop and the button is passed through the drill hole through the first bone and the second bone and the button is oriented to sit on a surface of the second bone and the suture ends extend outwardly through the drill hole.
