Filamentary fixation devices may be used in a variety of surgical procedures to secure soft tissue to bone. The present invention provides various devices, systems, kits and instrumentation for performing such surgical procedures including preparation of soft tissue and bone, preparation and manipulation of such filamentary fixation devices, and insertion and utilization of the fixation devices within a patient's anatomy. In one embodiment, a method for securing soft tissue to bone, the method includes accessing the soft tissue and the bone, passing a filament through the soft tissue, preparing a bore hole in the bone, loading the filament into a filamentary fixation device, implanting the filamentary fixation device, with the filament, into the bore hole, and tensioning the filament so that the filamentary fixation device and filament are secured within the bore hole.
1. A method of repairing soft tissue, comprising the steps of: forming a bore hole in bone;engaging a filament to the soft tissue, the filament having at least one filament end extending from the tissue;engaging the at least one filament end of the filament with at least one threading connector of a
1. A method of repairing soft tissue, comprising the steps of: forming a bore hole in bone;engaging a filament to the soft tissue, the filament having at least one filament end extending from the tissue;engaging the at least one filament end of the filament with at least one threading connector of a threading filament, the threading filament having a length between the at least one threading connector and at least one opposite end, at least a portion of the length passing through a filamentary fixation device along a path, the path extending along a maximum length of the filamentary fixation device defined from a first end to a second end and through a hollow interior of the filamentary fixation device, the filamentary fixation device formed of filament and positioned outside of the bone hole;tensioning the threading filament, from the opposite end, to move the filament along the path through the filamentary fixation device, such that the filament engages the soft tissue to the filamentary fixation device; andsecuring the filamentary fixation device, filament and soft tissue to the bone by implanting the filamentary fixation device and at least a portion of the filament, passing through the filamentary fixation device, into the bore hole. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the securing step further comprises tensioning the filament to tension the soft tissue towards the bore hole, securing the filamentary fixation device and filament in the bore hole, or both. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein a portion of the path includes a generally circular path relative to the filamentary fixation device. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the filament includes a second filament end, further comprising the step of engaging the second filament end of the filament with a second threading connector of a second threading filament, the second threading filament having a length between the second threading connector and at least one opposite end, at least a portion of the length passing through the filamentary fixation device along a second path. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the filamentary fixation device includes the first end and the second end and defining a length therebetween and the hollow interior along the length, wherein the first path extends at least from the first end to the second end and through the hollow interior and the second path extends from the second end to the first end and through the hollow interior. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein upon tensioning the first and second threading filaments, the filament includes a loop portion extending between the first and second ends of the filamentary fixation device and the soft tissue. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein a portion of the path includes passing through a sidewall of the filamentary fixation device. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of engaging the filament to soft tissue further comprises positioning a suture anchor adjacent to the tissue, to which a portion of the filament is secured, and passing the filament end through the tissue and to the threading connector of the threading filament. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the filament includes a second filament end forming a closed loop, wherein the step of engaging the filament to the soft tissue further comprises passing one of the filament ends through or around the tissue, passing the first filament end through the closed loop of the second filament end, and tensioning the first filament end to draw the closed loop to the soft tissue. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of engaging the filament to the soft tissue occurs prior to the step of engaging the at least one filament end of the filament with the at least one threading connector of the threading filament. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein during the steps of engaging the at least one filament end of the filament with the at least one threading connector of the threading filament and tensioning the threading filament, the filamentary fixation device is secured between a plurality of pins. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the pins puncture through a portion of the filamentary fixation device. 13. A method of loading a filament onto a filamentary fixation device, comprising the steps of: obtaining a filament having a first filament end and a second filament end;engaging the filamentary fixation device with a loading device housing including a first threading filament and a second threading filament;engaging the first filament end of the filament with a first threading connector of the first threading filament, the threading filament having a length between the at least one threading connector and an opposite end, at least a portion of the length passing through the filamentary fixation device along a first path, the filamentary fixation device formed of filament and the first path extending along a maximum dimension from a first end to a second end and through a hollow interior along the first path;engaging the second filament end of the filament with a second threading connector of the second threading filament, the threading filament having a length between the second threading connector and an opposite end, at least a portion of the length passing through the filamentary fixation device along a second path, the second path extending from the second end to the first end and through the hollow interior; andtensioning the first and second threading filaments, from the opposite ends, to move the filament along the first and second paths through the filamentary fixation device. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the first and second threading filaments form a continuous threading filament, extending from the first threading connector to a second threading connector. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein upon tensioning the first and second threading filaments, the filament includes a loop portion extending between the first and second ends of the filamentary fixation device. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein a portion of the first path, second path, or both first and second paths, includes passing through a sidewall of the filamentary fixation device. 17. The method of claim 13, wherein during the steps of engaging the first and second filament ends of the filament with the first and second threading connectors of the threading filaments and tensioning the first and second threading filaments, the filamentary fixation device is secured between a plurality of pins. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the pins puncture through a portion of the filamentary fixation device.
