Content
FIGURE 5A illustrates an example balance gauge 168 of a gap gauge 100 that can be positioned to contact a first bone (See FIGURE 1A) and a second bone (See FIGURE 1A). Where the surfaces of the bones are parallel and/or forces within the joint 108 are balanced (e.g., a balance condition), a needle 172 of the balance gauge 168 may point to a middle mark of the dial 170 indicating a balance condition, no positive or negative degree of rotation about a pivot axis 162.
