Abstract
A gauge device that measures and displays the tension applied to a first object portion and a second object portion is disclosed. An exemplary gauge device comprises a first and second housing portion, a tension member, a compression member and a connector portion. The components of the gauge device may be cannulated so as to allow a wire (e.g., lagwire) connected to a first and second object portion to be inserted through the gauge device. When pressure is applied to the lagwire, the tension member is compressed causing the housing to translate horizontally along indicator, thus displaying the amount of tension applied.
