Abstract
Exemplary systems and methods encompass suture knot tools and suture knot tools pre-loaded with sutures for use in tendon repair and other surgical procedures. Related methods may include forming a nail knot between a suture and a tissue of a patient during a surgical procedure by drawing tissue into a port sleeve of an arthroscopic system, moving the port sleeve relative to a free end portion of the tissue and a nail knot cinch of a suture, to allow the nail knot cinch of the suture to contact the free end portion of the tissue; and tightening the nail knot cinch of the suture about the free end portion of the tissue, so as to form the nail knot with the suture and the tissue.
