Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A knee arthroplasty instrument may include a tensioning instrument (101) and at least a first sensor (202). The tensioning instrument includes a tibial component (214) configured to engage the tibia and a femoral component (216) configured to engage the femur. The femoral component is movably coupled to the tibial component to place the knee joint in tension by separating the tibia and the femur. The first sensor is coupled to the tensioning instrument and is configured to collect first data regarding a torque of the tensioning instrument when separating the tibia and the femur.
