Abstract

The device has a measuring unit (10) with sensors (12) measuring the force exerted on arms (7) related to desmoid tension of inner and outer ligaments. A unit (14) processes measured and/or stored data for obtaining output data related to the desmoid tension to be applied and/or to the plane of femoral cutting to be realized and/or to the dimensions of the femoral and tibial implants to be selected.
