The patent application by inventors Dinesh V. KOKA and Vuong Binh NGUYEN describes an arthroplasty balance and gap gauge that aims to enhance the measurement of joint openings and balance during arthroplasty procedures. The device includes plates, a separator, a separation indicator, and a balance indicator to facilitate accurate measurements and guide surgeons in making necessary bone resections. The invention addresses the challenges faced in measuring joint gaps and angulation during minimally invasive or invasive arthroplasty procedures. The method and assembly described in the patent application involve inserting plates of a gap gauge between the femur and tibia, reading separation and balance indicators to determine the displacement and balance status, and adjusting tension applied to the ligaments if necessary. The goal of this invention is to improve the accuracy and precision of arthroplasty procedures. [Extracted from the article]
