disposed over a suture 102 and can be coupled to the soft tissue by pushing the collapsible tubes 104 through the soft tissue 124 and the mesh 130 tension can be applied to the suture 102 to collapse the collapsible tube 104 thus coupling the sports mesh 130 to the two portions of soft tissue 124 which are being repaired as best seen in fig3 b and 360 several different stitching techniques can be used to couple multiple collapsible tubes 104 along the periphery of the orthopedic mesh 130 on either side of a tear 132 the orthopedic mesh 130 functions to distribute loads along the muscle 124 thus allowing the torn muscle 132 to heal properly as seen in fig3 sutures 134 can be added between the loops of collapsible tubes 104 it is envisioned that this functions to transfer loads from one portion of the muscle to a second thus allowing the muscle tear 132 to heal more rapidly and compress the tear 132 fig3 a 39d represent various methods of inserting the suture constructions shown above into soft tissue fig3 a and 37b represent a collapsible tube having a single and double suture and constructions these constructions are being threaded through a soft tissue 124 using a speed pass suture retriever from biomet sports medicine a passage is formed within a soft tissue 124 using the speed pass suture retriever has a deployable portion which.
