A method for securing a strand to a fixation member for arthroscopic fixation, wherein the fixation member includes a channel on an exterior surface and an aperture therethrough. The method includes passing a strand having first and second ends through a flexible sleeve, passing the sleeve through the aperture of the fixation member in a first direction, tensioning the strand, and pulling the sleeve in a second direction different than the first direction to secure the sleeve to the fixation member without tying the strand on the fixation member.
1. A method for securing a strand to at least one fixation member for a surgical procedure, the at least one fixation member having a central body axis and a tissue engaging flange, the strand having first and second ends through a flexible sleeve having a first cross-section such that the first and
1. A method for securing a strand to at least one fixation member for a surgical procedure, the at least one fixation member having a central body axis and a tissue engaging flange, the strand having first and second ends through a flexible sleeve having a first cross-section such that the first and second ends of the strand are outside the flexible sleeve, the method comprising: passing the sleeve through a bore formed through the fixation member along the central body axis and transversely through the fixation member into an exterior channel of the fixation member in a first direction and in a first configuration such that the sleeve is completely outside the fixation member;tensioning the strand;moving the sleeve in a second direction different than the first direction; andchanging the sleeve to a second configuration that cannot reenter into the bore from the exterior channel to secure the sleeve to the fixation member without tying the strand on the fixation member. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the flange is a helical flange. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the flange is generally perpendicular to the central body axis. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the fastener comprises a plurality of tissue engaging flanges. 5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the plurality of tissue engaging flanges are one of perpendicular to the central body axis and helically disposed about the central body axis. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the sleeve has first and second ends and the first and second ends of the strand exit the sleeve from corresponding first and second openings of the sleeve. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein moving the sleeve in a second direction different than the first direction presses first and second ends of the sleeve against the fixation member. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: forming a hole in tissue; andinserting the fixation member in the hole. 9. The method according to claim 1 wherein moving the sleeve in a second direction causes the sleeve to press against adjacent tissue, wherein the sleeve pressing against the tissue contributes to the fixation of the construct in the tissue. 10. A method for securing a strand to a bone with at least one fixation member for a surgical procedure comprising: providing an elongated flexible strand having first and second ends passing through at least a portion of a longitudinal bore of a flexible sleeve such that the first and second ends of the flexible strand are outside the flexible sleeve;folding the sleeve into a first U-shaped configuration;pushing the sleeve completely through an aperture of the fixation member in a first direction in the first U-shaped configuration; andtensioning the strand to change the sleeve to a second configuration that cannot pass through the aperture of the fixation member by pulling the sleeve in the second direction. 11. A method for securing a strand to a bone with at least one fixation member for a surgical procedure comprising: deforming a flexible sleeve into a first configuration, wherein the flexible sleeve has an inner bore and an elongated flexible strand having first and second ends and passing through at least a portion of the inner bore of the flexible sleeve such that the first and second ends of the flexible strand are outside the flexible sleeve;pushing the sleeve through the bore of the fixation member in a first direction in the first configuration and into an exterior channel of the fixation member such that the sleeve is completely outside the fixation member; andtensioning the strand to change the sleeve to a second configuration that cannot reenter from the exterior channel into the bore of the fixation member by pulling the sleeve in the second direction. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the exterior channel is defined on a tissue engaging flange of the fixation member. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the exterior channel is defined on an exterior surface of the fixation member.
