Definitions
- the first and second measurement structures can have components in common.
- Each of the measurement structures can include components such as a housing for mounting the measurement structure, a driver which can be operated to adjust the measurement structure, one or more scale portions.
- the first and second measurement structures can have any of these components (and other components) in common.
- the instrument that is provided by the invention can then be used to ensure that the size of the femoral component that is used is appropriate having regard to the size of the femur. It can also be used to ensure that the bearing component that is used as the appropriate thickness having regard to (a) the size of the femoral component and (b) the soft tissue which extends between the femur and the tibia.
