loop 46 or loops 46 and 47 about the soft tissue 80 as seen in fig1 c and 15d the soft tissue 80 can be threaded through the loops 46 and 47 prior to or after the coupling of the suture bearing fastener 98 to the bone engaging fastener 60 a guide wire 99 can be coupled to the bone through the fastener bore 96 the guide wire 99 is then used to align the suture bearing fastener 98 through the soft tissue 80 and into the bore 96 of fastener 60 as shown in fig1 a 16c one loop 46 of the suture construction 22 can have a fastening element 112 coupled thereto this fastener element 112 can take the form of a hook having an aperture which accepts the suture from a loop 47 the loop 46 of the suture construction can be passed through the aperture 84 formed in the soft tissue 80 fig1 d shows the fastener element 112 can be coupled to the first loop 46 after the first and second loops 46 and 47 are coupled together about the soft tissue 80 tension can be applied to the ends of the construction to pull the soft tissue to the bone as shown in fig1 bone engaging fastener 60 can have a bore 96 defined therein the bore 96 can have a defined fastening loop 114 which is used to couple a suture construction 22 to the fastener 60 in this regard it is envisioned the passage portion 30 of the suture construction can be fixed within the fastening loop one or both loops 46 and 47 can then be passed through an aperture 84 defined in the soft tissue 80 these loops of material can be hooked to a hook 116 defined within the.
