1. A system for prosthesis fitting in joints comprising:

  • an artificial condyle;

    a spacer, the spacer cooperating with the condyle to form an artificial joint, the spacer adapted to support a force from the condyle, the artificial joint being adapted to move between a flexed position and an extended position defining a range of motion;

    a sensor embedded within the spacer, the sensor being responsive to the force, wherein the sensor generates an output representative of the force;

    a processor having a memory, the processor being operatively coupled to the sensor, the processor memory being adapted to store the output representative of the force on the spacer by the condyle;

    a computer analysis program stored on the processor memory, the computer analysis program being adapted to analyze the output representative of the force on the spacer.
