Summary:An implant assembly for use in tissue repairs includes a fixation device and a flexible elongate implant. The fixation device has a body with a first surface adapted to face towards a bone and a second surface adapted to face away from the bone. Apertures extend through the fixation device body from the first surface to the second surface and serve to attach one end of the flexible elongate implant loop. The flexible elongate implant has a multifilament structure comprising filaments which are of a metallic or non-metallic material. The implant is coupled to the fixation device by passing through the apertures, and has a loop having a first end that is secured to the fixation device and a second end which can be releasably coupled to the fixation device following passage through or around a bone, for securing the implant assembly relative to the bone.
