Abstract
A force sensor is used to determine tension forces present in a portion of tissue adjacent a body joint. A support plate is inserted under a tissue portion through two spaced apart incisions. The ends of the support plate are exposed and are mounted to a sensor frame along with a flexure member. A load plate mounted to the flexure member transfers force loads sensed from the tissue portion to the flexure member. A strain gage is mounted to the flexure member to provide an output signal representative of the force on the flexure member and thus forces in the tissue.
