Soft tissue balancing in articular surgery

An intraoperative surgical system comprising:

• a display device;
• a computing device coupled to the display device, the computing device including a processor coupled to a memory device, the memory device including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to perform operations including:
• accessing surgical data including soft tissue data indicative of at least tension in soft tissues surrounding a surgical location;
• calculating, based at least in part on the soft tissue data, medial total gap and a lateral total gap;
• determining, based at least in part on the medial total gap and lateral total gap, a recommended component set;
• generating, for display on the display device, a graphical user interface including an interactive trapezoidal graphic overlaid onto a graphical representation of a distal femur and a proximal tibia, wherein the interactive trapezoidal graphic includes a graphical representation of the medial total gap, the lateral total gap, and at least a portion of the recommended component set;
• and
• outputting the graphical user interface to the display device,
• wherein the graphical representation of the medial total gap and the lateral total gap include separate displays for total gap measurement and cut measurement, and
• wherein generating the graphical user interface includes generation of a medial overlap indicator and a lateral overlap indicator overlaid onto the graphical representation of the distal femur and the proximal tibia within the interactive trapezoidal graphic.
