Content
In one aspect, the balance indicator may include a hinge that pivotally connects the second plate to the gap gauge. The hinge may include a pin having a longitudinal axis that is a pivot axis of the second plate. The longitudinal axis may be parallel to an anterior-posterior axis of the patient such that rotation of the second plate about the pivot axis measures one of a varus condition, a balanced condition, and a valgus condition of the first bone relative to the second bone.
