Patent ID: 8715290

Claim:
A device for performing a surgical procedure on a knee, the device comprising: an adjustable femoral portion for removably coupling with a distal end of a femur to adjust tension in soft tissue adjacent the knee, the femoral portion having, a stationary femoral member configured to removably attach in a fixed position to the distal end of the femur, and a mobile femoral member configured to movably couple to the stationary femoral member and adjustable to produce tension in soft tissue adjacent to the knee, wherein the adjustable femoral portion is configured to position a femoral prosthetic on the distal end of the femur; a tibial portion for removably coupling with a proximal end of a tibia and movably coupling with the femoral portion to allow the knee to be rotated through a range of motion between flexion and extension without removing the femoral and tibial portions from the knee; and at least one sensor coupled with at least one of the femoral and tibial portions to sense pressure exerted by the femoral and tibial portions against one another.
