Soft-tissue including ligament has a very complex anatomy which enables it to perform an important role in guiding the most suitable operation for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A new device was designed and built to test the mechanical equilibrium the tensile properties of the soft-tissue and to asses the gap difference between tibial plate and component using the pressure sensors. It is shown from the experimental results that the applicability of a special-designed device to the optimum operative for TKA may be significantly sufficient.
