Abstract
Tensioner instruments, systems, and methods of tensioning flexible bands in-situ. The tensioner instrument may include first and second pivoting arms with a base for pinching and pulling the flexible band to provide tension. The tensioner instrument system may include a clip inserter and a ratcheting tensioner for tensioning the band through an implant. The instruments may be configured to apply and maintain tension to the flexible band, thereby providing the desired correction to the spine.
