5

The various apparatus, devices, systems, and/or methods of the present disclosure have been developed in response to the present state of the art, and in particular, in response to the problems and needs in the art that have not yet been fully solved by currently available technology. One general aspect of the present disclosure can include a surgical device for intraoperative angle measurements during surgery on a patient. The surgical device may include a shaft that may include: a proximal end, and a distal end. The shaft may include a bone probe configured to engage and remain in contact with cortical bone of the patient while a user orients the shaft to a desired orientation. The device includes a housing coupled to the shaft, the housing may include: an electronic circuit configured to measure an orientation angle, the electronic circuit may include: an input device configured to receive user input data; a measurement circuit configured to measure a change in orientation of the shaft in relation to a reference axis; a control circuit coupled to the input device and measurement circuit and configured to determine the orientation angle of the shaft relative to the reference axis; an output device coupled to the control circuit and configured to communicate the orientation angle to the user. The device includes a power supply configured to provide power to the electronic circuit.
