Content

Figures 2 and 3 are anterior views of a knee joint with the gap gauge 100 of Figure 1A inserted between two bones and show a balanced condition and a varus condition, respectively. A figure showing bones of a joint for a valgus condition is not specifically shown; however, those of skill in the art will appreciate that a valgus condition is simply an angle, or orientation, of the bones of FIGURE 3 such that the pivot plate 148 pivots in the direction of arrow 166 rather than arrow 164.
