Abstract
An orthopedic measurement system system includes a tri-axial gyroscope configured to measure movement of a leg. The gyroscope can be placed in an insert or tibial prosthetic component that couples to the tibia. The gyroscope may be used to measure alignment relative to the mechanical axis of the leg. The leg alignment measurement may be performed by putting the leg through a first leg movement and a second leg movement. The gyroscope outputs angular velocities on the axes that the sensor is rotated about. The gyroscope may be coupled to a computer that calculates the alignment of the leg relative to the mechanical axis from the gyroscope measurement data.
