Claim 6:
7. The post brace bracket of claim 1, in combination with a tensioning module, the tensioning module comprising:
a channel defining a lumen having an aperture at a distal end and configured to slidingly receive a threaded rod through the channel such that the threaded rod extends along a first longitudinal axis;
a coupling member at a proximal end configured to couple to a connecting link extending along a second longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis;
a ring gear concentrically and at least partially threadedly coupled to the threaded rod such that, when the ring gear is rotated, the threaded rod is induced to move along the first longitudinal axis; and,
a second gear operably coupled to the ring gear having an axis of rotation perpendicular to that of the ring gear, wherein the second gear is configured such that, when the second gear is rotated in a first rotational direction, the second gear induces a rotational motion of the ring gear about the threaded rod such that a position of the threaded rod relative to the tensioning module is altered.
