Abstract
Surgical constructs, assemblies, kits and methods of tissue fixation are disclosed. Glenoid augmentation is conducted with one or more soft tissue grafts placed on the anterior glenoid to fill a glenoid defect. Knotted or knotless suture anchors can deliver and fixate the soft tissue graft within the glenoid bone defect. Suture anchors can also secure the native ligament to the soft tissue graft and provide stability to the shoulder joint. Soft suture anchors can deliver and fixate a soft tissue graft within the bone defect. The native soft tissue can be repaired over top of the soft tissue graft into its anatomical position.
