Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a suture anchor assembly that includes a sleeve having an elongated configuration and a tightened configuration. The suture anchor includes a first deployment strand and a second deployment strand that each form a looped end and a free end. The free end of the first deployment strand passes through the looped end of the second deployment strand and the free end of the second deployment strand passes through the looped end of the first deployment strand to form a loose square knot. A portion of the first deployment strand and the second deployment strand pass through the sleeve. Application of tension to each of the free end of the first deployment strand and the free end of the second deployment strand causes the loose square knot to tighten and the sleeve to move to the tightened configuration.
