1. A system for measuring biomechanical parameters of a joint comprising:

  • a plurality of microsensors removably attached to bones of the joint;

    at least one sensor communicating with the plurality of microsensors;

    a navigation system coupled to the at least one sensor;

    an imaging system coupled to the navigation system for performing imaging of the joint; and

    at least one display coupled to the imaging system and the navigation system for displaying imaging and tracking data;

    wherein the imaging and tracking data includes a first set of kinematic parameters for the bones of the joint acquired during a first dynamic analysis of the bones of the joint prior to making an incision during surgery on the joint, and a second set of kinematic parameters of the bones of the joint acquired during a second dynamic analysis of the bones of the joint during placement of at least one bone implant on the bones of the joint during surgery; and

    wherein the first and second kinematic parameters are compared to ensure proper placement of the at least one bone implant on the bones of the joint.
