A method of assembling an adjustable continuous filament assembly whereby a single length of filament is spliced to form a nonadjustable portion and a single free segment. The single free segment is introduced into the inner core of the nonadjustable portion at a first position. The single free segment is passed through at least a portion of the inner core of the nonadjustable portion. The single free segment is withdrawn from the nonadjustable portion at a second position, thereby forming an adjustable portion secured to the nonadjustable portion and adjustable by the single free segment.

1. A continuous filament assembly, comprising: a single line of filament having an nonadjustable loop, an adjustable loop, and a single free segment, the adjustable loop having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending from the nonadjustable loop to a first position along an outer wall of the nonadjustable loop, and the second portion entering into the outer wall of the nonadjustable loop and extending through at least a portion of an inner core of the nonadjustable loop to a second position along the outer wall of the nonadjustable loop, the single free segment extending from the outer wall of the nonadjustable loop at the second position such that the free segment is continuous with the second portion of the adjustable loop, wherein pulling the free segment shrinks the first portion of the adjustable loop. 2. The continuous filament assembly of claim 1, wherein the nonadjustable loop is formed by a locking splice. 3. The continuous filament assembly of claim 2, wherein the nonadjustable loop is formed by a locking Brummel splice, a stitched buried splice, or a lock stitch tuck splice. 4. The continuous filament assembly of claim 1, wherein the second portion of the adjustable loop is positioned through the inner core of the nonadjustable loop to form a one-way feature such that the free segment is tensionable to shrink the adjustable loop, but the one-way feature prevents the adjustable loop from expanding due to tension applied to the adjustable loop. 5. The continuous filament assembly of claim 1, wherein the first position and second position are spaced from one another along the nonadjustable loop. 6. The continuous filament assembly of claim 1, further comprising a suture anchor disposed along a portion of the outer wall of the nonadjustable loop. 7. The continuous filament assembly of claim 6, wherein the anchor is a button anchor. 8. The continuous filament assembly of claim 6, wherein the anchor is a filamentary sleeve. 9. A continuous filament assembly, comprising: a single line of filament having a first segment defining a first loop, a second segment defining a second loop, and a free segment, the second segment extending from the first loop to a first position along an outer wall of the first segment, the second segment coupled to the free segment at the first position and passing through the sidewall of the first segment into a core thereof and extending along the core to a second position at which the free segment extends out of the core and through the sidewall of the first segment. 10. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the second segment is joined to the first loop by a lock. 11. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the lock is a locking Brummel splice. 12. The assembly of claim 10, further comprising a third segment extending from the lock and being buried into a core of the second segment. 13. The assembly of claim 9, further comprising a suture anchor disposed along a portion of the outer wall of the first segment. 14. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the suture anchor is one of a button anchor and filamentary sleeve. 15. A continuous filament assembly, comprising: a first segment of filament defining a first loop and having a sidewall defining a core extending along a length thereof;a second segment of filament extending from the first loop and defining a second loop; anda free segment of filament extending through the core of the first segment and being coupled to the second segment such that tensioning the free segment shrinks the second loop defined by the second segment. 16. The assembly of claim 15, wherein the first loop is further defined by a lock disposed between the first loop and second loop, the lock being configured to constrain the first loop from expansion or contraction. 17. The assembly of claim 16, wherein the lock is a locking Brummel splice. 18. The assembly of claim 16, wherein the free segment passes through the sidewall into the core of the first segment at an entrance location disposed adjacent to the lock and extends through the core to an exit location at which the free segment passes through the sidewall and out of the core. 19. The assembly of claim 18, wherein the lock defines a crotch of the first loop and the free segment passes through the sidewall of the first segment and extends across the crotch to the entrance location. 20. The assembly of claim 15, wherein the first, second and free segments of filament comprise a single line of filament.
