A system and method for attaching soft tissue to a prosthetic implant can include a prosthetic component that defines a soft tissue attachment region having an attachment surface thereon. A first construct can be formed of porous metal and be removably coupled to the attachment surface. A second construct can be positioned outboard of the soft tissue. A fastener can be engaged to the second construct capturing the soft tissue against the first construct. The fastener can be coupled on a distal end to the first prosthetic component.
