As explained herein, the tissue 208 may be a manmade tissue or a biological tissue and/or a combination of these. For example, in one embodiment, the tissue 208 is a hamstring graft (i.e., Hamstring tendon autograft (GST)) that includes one or more sutures and/or suture tape secured to one end or extending along the length of the graft. In one embodiment, suture(s) or suture tape may extend along the length of the tissue 208 to add structural strength to the graft and may enhance the engagement of the one-way tissue engagement feature 204 of the tissue 208.
