wherein:
the sensor system is configured to (i) measure motion of the tibial implant, (ii) measure relative position of the tibial implant, (iii) identify if a contact region is outside a predetermined area, and (iv) provide an indication of a degree of misalignment based on the identification of the contact region being outside the predetermined area.
