A suture construction and method for forming a suture construction is
disclosed. The construction utilizes a suture having an enlarged central
body portion defining a longitudinal passage. First and second ends of
the suture are passed through first and second apertures associated with
the longitudinal passage to form a pair of loops. Portions of the suture
lay parallel to each other within the suture. Application of tension onto
the suture construction causes constriction of the longitudinal passage,
thus preventing relative motions of the captured portions of the suture.
