[0001] Severed or torn tendons as well as other soft tissues including ligaments and tendons and possibly fragments of bone connected to them can cause serious pain and, in some cases, impair movement and cause disabilities. Techniques of repairing severed tendons include suturing to join the two ends of the severed tendon. id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2" id="p-2"
id="p-2"
[0002] One suturing method that has established itself as one of the most widely used approaches is the Kessler repair or its modifications in which opposed severed ends of the tendon or ligament are sutured together in a particular configuration.

Claims (17)
1. A suture tensioning device for tensioning a suture that is operably engaged with a soft tissue repair site, the suture tensioning device comprising: a housing having a wide proximal receiving end, and a narrow distal end, wherein the housing is configured to snugly receive a digit; a suture tensioning mechanism that is configured to fixedly receive one or more suture portions of corresponding suture ends of a suture extending from the tissue repair site within the body extremity to outside the body extremity to terminate at the suture tensioning mechanism; a suture coupling element for fixedly coupling the one or more suture portions with the tensioning mechanism; and an adjustment device configured for controllably adapting tension on the suture.
2. The suture tensioning device of claim 1, wherein the adjustment device comprises an actuator that is operably engageable by a user of the suture tensioning device and which allows to selectively increase or decrease tension that is applied to the suture.
3. The suture tensioning device of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the adjustment device is configured as a ratchet for tensioning of the suture, and to prevent unwanted decrease in suture tensioning.
