One general aspect of the present disclosure can include a method for measuring a gap between a femur and a tibia of a patient. The method may include, inserting a first plate and a second plate of a gap gauge between the femur and the tibia, actuating the first plate and the second plate apart such that the first plate is in contact with a resected surface of the femur and the second plate is in contact with a resected surface of the tibia, reading a separation indicator of the gap gauge to obtain a displacement between the femur and the tibia, and reading a balance indicator of the gap gauge to obtain a balance status between the femur and the tibia.
