Content
In addition, or alternatively, the gap gauge 100 can be used to determine a balance status of a joint 108 that is part of the arthroplasty procedure. The joint 108 can be a toe joint, ankle joint, knee joint, hip joint, arm joint, elbow joint, finger joint, or the like. In the illustrated embodiment, the joint 108 is a knee joint and the first bone is a femur 102 and the second bone is a tibia 104. Gap gauge 100 can be used to determine both displacement within the opening 106 and a balance status using a single device. Alternatively, a user, such as a surgeon, can use the gap gauge 100 to determine displacement or a balance status using a single convenient device with the first bone and second bone in flexion, in extension, or at an angle between flexion and extension.
