1. An intra-operative system having multiple sensing capabilities, comprising:
- a plurality of internal sensors configured to be coupled to at least one of bone, tendon, ligament, and an implant;
a first sensor clamp configured to couple around a first ligament or tendon wherein a first sensor of the plurality of internal sensors is configured to couple to the first sensor clamp, wherein the first sensor is configured to measure a parameter of the first ligament or tendon, and wherein the first sensor is coupled to the first ligament or tendon when the first sensor clamp is released;
electronic circuitry configured to control a measurement process and transmit measurement data wherein the electronic circuitry is coupled to the plurality of internal sensors;
an external device comprising;
a receiver where the receiver is configured to receive the measurement data from the plurality of internal sensors;
a processor, where the processor is configured to input the measured data and calculate at least one of an alignment value of the orthopedic system and a balance value of the orthopedic system; and
a display, where the display is configured to display at least one of the alignment value or the balance value.

Abstract
A biometric sensor includes a prosthesis for at least one joint having one or more biometric transceivers. The one or more biometric transceivers are capable of transmitting at least one energy wave into a procedure area, quantitatively assessing a behavior of the at least one energy wave, and assessing particulate matter using the at least one energy wave.
