<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide orthopedic surgical instruments, and more particularly, systems, devices, and methods for determining and displaying joint force data. <P>SOLUTION: A computer assisted orthopedic system includes a sensor module, a display, and a computer coupled to the display. The sensor module is configured to be positioned in a knee joint of a patient and transmit joint force data indicative of a joint force of the patient's knee joint. The computer includes a receiver circuit to receive the joint force data. The computer is configured to determine position data indicative of a position of a patient's femur and a patient's tibia and display an image of the patient's femur and the patient's tibia based on the position data. The computer is also configured to determine an internal force value and an external force value based on the joint force data and display the internal and external force values on the display. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
