Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an orthopedic device for determining a joint force of a patient's knee joint, including a tibial paddle having a shape such that the tibial paddle is positioned in the patient's knee joint, and a handle extending from the tibial paddle.SOLUTION: In an orthopedic device, a tibial paddle includes a sensor array positioned thereinside, and generating a sensor signal indicating a joint force of a patient's knee joint. The orthopedic device also includes a control circuit controlling a display positioned in a handle so as to provide a visual index of a balance between the inside and the outside of the joint force. In a partial embodiment, various tibial trial components may be connected to a tibia with an accompanied adaptor.
