I always spell abbreviations out such as this one that follows a vague number , i.e., few, several, many, etc. It just doesn't look right having the abbreviation in that sort of sentence to me. If you adhere to the BOS, it suggests spelling them out in this instance as well.

Surgical question.
Subject: Surgical question.

Okay here are the procedures...


1.  Repair of FDP tendon.


2.  Repair of one fascicle laceration of the ulnar digital nerve.


3.  Repair of pulley tendon.


4.  Radial digital neurolysis (indicated given the ulnar digital nerve partial laceration.)


5.  Repair of A4 pulley.


I am then hearing in the narrative summary:


The tendon was repaired with a modified Kessler suture.  This was somewhat compromised by the skiving cut angled distally with minimal tendon at the insertion for the repair.  However, adequate tissue was apparently purchased.


Purchased is the word I am questioning??

Yep, it's purchased. Just means a good hold in the tissues.
