Content
Next, a surgeon, or other user, may pass 1406 a tether 840 through the distal tunnel end (e.g., distal end 868) and proximal tunnel end (e.g., proximal end 866) of the bone tunnel 862. In one embodiment, the surgeon may use a suture threader to pass the tether 840 from the distal tunnel end (e.g., distal end 868) and proximal tunnel end (e.g., proximal end 866) by pulling the tether 840. The tether 840 may include a distal tether end and a proximal tether end. Of course, there are a variety of ways a surgeon may pass 1406 the tether 840 through the bone tunnel 862 each of which is within the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the tether 840 may be pushed from the distal tunnel end to the proximal tunnel end.
