A method and system for designing a patient-specific orthopaedic surgical
instrument includes coupling a knee sleeve to a leg of the patient. The
knee sleeve includes sensors configured to generate sensor data indicate
of the position of the respective sensor. The method also include
determining angulation data indicative of the angulation of the knee
based on the sensor data. The angulation data may be indicative of, for
example, the ligament laxity of the knee. The method may also include
generating a medical image(s) of the knee. The design of the
patient-specific orthopaedic surgical instrument is determined based on
the angulation data and the medical image(s).
