Paragraph Number

78

During an arthroplasty procedure, a user may align the longitudinal axis of the pin 158, and hence the pivot axis of the pivot plate 148, with an anterior-posterior axis 116 of a patient in order to determine a balance status. Alternatively, or in addition, during an arthroplasty procedure, a user may position the longitudinal axis of the pin 158, and hence the pivot axis of the pivot plate 148, parallel to an anterior-posterior axis 116 of a patient in order to determine, or measure, a varus condition, a balanced condition, or a valgus condition.
