A system ( 1100 ) is provided to generate an orthopedic dynamic data repository and registry ( 2214 ). The system ( 1100 ) can measure a parameter of the muscular-skeletal system and align at least one of the surfaces to a mechanical axis intra-operatively. The system ( 1100 ) comprises disposable sensors ( 1106 ), disposable targets ( 1110 ), lasers ( 1114 ), a processing unit ( 1122 ), a display ( 1124 ), a reader ( 1120 ), a receiver ( 1118 ), spacer blocks ( 1102 ), and a distractor 1104 . The sensors ( 1106 ) are in communication with the processing unit ( 1122 ) to display, process, store, and send data to dynamic data repository and registry ( 2214 ). Parameters can be measured pre-operatively, intra-operatively, post-operatively, and long term using sensor ( 1106 ). The measurement data is used to identify and provide clinical evidence of the efficacy of an orthopedic device, procedure, or medicine. A notification of cost modification is generated in electronic digital form and sent to at least one entity. |
