1. An interbody measurement system comprising:
an interbody tool comprising:
an upper portion comprising an upper contact surface and a plurality of upper legs;
a lower portion comprising a lower contact surface and a plurality of lower legs, each of the lower legs moveably connected to one of the upper legs;
a plurality of actuators configured to selectively adjust a distance between the upper contact surface and the lower contact surface, each actuator connecting a corresponding upper leg of the plurality of upper legs and a corresponding lower leg of the plurality of lower legs; and
at least one sensor for measuring a characteristic of at least one actuator in the plurality of actuators;
a processor; and
a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causes the processor to:
activate the plurality of actuators;
receive data corresponding to the characteristic from the at least one sensor;
determine whether to de-activate the plurality of actuators based on the data corresponding to the characteristic;
receive information about a distance between the upper contact surface and the lower contact surface;
identifying an implant based on the information about the distance between the upper contact surface and the lower contact surface at each of a plurality of points; and
update at least one parameter of a global alignment plan based on the identified implant.
