    Abstract: A system includes a patella trial comprising a baseplate and an articular surface member configured to move along at least one of a medial-lateral axis or a superior-inferior axis of the baseplate; and an implant comprising a posterior articular surface and an anterior surface, wherein the anterior surface has a medial/lateral width with a midpoint, wherein the posterior articular surface has a posterior-most point, wherein an imaginary line extending through the posterior-most point is parallel to an imaginary line extending through the midpoint, and wherein a distance (I) is defined by measuring a length between the imaginary line extending through the posterior-most point and the imaginary line extending through the midpoint; wherein the implant is selected from a set of implants each having a different I, and wherein the chosen implant is selected based on an offset of the articular surface member relative to the baseplate on the patella trial.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method including positioning at least one sensor within a joint of a patient; receiving, by a processor, a first data set representing a first series of reaction forces within the joint while the joint is moved through a range of motion; receiving, by the processor, a second data set representing a second series of reaction forces within the joint while the joint is moved through the range of motion while a first trial implant is attached within the joint; calculating, by the processor, a difference between the second data set and the first data set; and providing, by the processor, an instruction based on the difference, the instruction including either an instruction to select a second trial implant if the difference exceeds a threshold, or an instruction to proceed with an actual implant matching the first trial implant if the difference does not exceed the threshold.
