1. A closure system for securing a first bone portion to a second bone portion;
- the closure system comprising;
a bracket including a first portion adapted to engage the first bone portion and a second portion adapted to engage the second bone portion;
a band engaging the bracket and adapted to be looped around the first and second bone portions; and
a tensioning device including a body and a threaded member, the threaded member received in the body and engaging the band such that rotation of the threaded member relative to the body moves a first end of the band relative to a second end of the band, wherein the tensioning device is removable from the bracket and the band without releasing tension of the band.

Abstract
A closure system may secure a first bone portion to a second bone portion. The closure system may include a bracket, a band and a tensioning device. The bracket may include a first portion adapted to engage the first bone portion and a second portion adapted to engage the second bone portion. The band may engage the bracket and may be adapted to be looped around the first and second bone portions. The tensioning device may include a body and a threaded member. The threaded member may be received in the body and may engage the band such that rotation of the threaded member relative to the body moves a first end of the band relative to a second end of the band.
