Abstract
A method for syndesmotic repair includes forming a bone tunnel through a first bone and a second bone. A partial anchoring construct is inserted through the bone tunnel. The partial anchoring construct includes a first flexible strand defining a first adjustable loop and a first anchor coupled to a first end of the first adjustable loop. A second end of the first adjustable loop is coupled to a first pull-through strand. A second anchor is coupled to the second end of the first adjustable loop after the first adjustable loop is inserted through the bone tunnel by the first pull-through strand. The length of the first adjustable loop is adjusted to position the first bone and the second bone in a predetermined spacing.
