Modified system and method for intraoperative tension assessment during joint arthroplasty

摘要

The system has a flexible sensor array (26) capable of being shaped to define a curved contour and generating a signal in response to pressure. A protector (28A) has a curved, contoured articulating surface and is capable of transmitting pressure to the sensor array. Mounting units are associated with the protector and one of trials for securing the protector and the trial.
