Abstract
There is disclosed a system and method for measuring the diameter or thickness of a tendon. In an embodiment, the device includes an adjustable tube having a variably sized cross-sectional diameter in a direction perpendicular to an axis extending between the first end and the second end, the adjustable tube being positionable from an open configuration in which the variably sized cross-sectional diameter is larger than a diameter of a tendon so as to allow loading of the tendon, to a closed configuration in which the variably sized cross-sectional diameter approximates the diameter of the tendon so as to allow measurement of the tendon. The device includes a measurement gradient in operable configuration with the adjustable tube so as to allow measurement of the tendon in the closed configuration. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
