Paragraph Number

129

Once the displacement and the balance status has been read, the method 1200 may proceed to step 1250 in which tension applied to the femur and/or the tibia by a medial collateral ligament and/or a lateral collateral ligament is adjusted. Once the tension applied to the femur and/or the tibia is adjusted, the method 1200 may proceed to step 1260 in which the balance indicator of the gap gauge is read to obtain an adjusted balance status between the femur and the tibia in response to adjusting the tension. After reading the adjusted balance, the method 1200 may end with the balance of the joint having the desired balance status.
