Abstract:
Surgical suturing constructs, suture anchor assemblies, and methods of tissue fixation are disclosed. The suturing construct includes a bumpy suture. A suturing construct may include one or more small loops on a distal end. A suturing construct may include a splice terminating into a tapered portion/region at a proximal end. A bumpy suture of a suturing construct may form a knotless, closed, self-locking loop around tissue.
