Self-Powered In Vivo Joint Load and Angle Sensing in Total Knee Replacement
Project Summary Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common surgical procedures in all of medicine and despite technical advances, about 10-20% of patients remain dissatisfied with their outcomes and about 9% of patients require revision. Leading causes of dissatisfaction and revision include postoperative pain, infection, aseptic loosening, and instability. Novel technologies, such as 3D surgical planning, patient-specific instrumentation, and sensor-guided and robotic-assisted arthroplasty, have changed the landscape of modern TKA, yet success rates have not improved over the past 20 years. Currently, there is no consensus in the arthroplasty community regarding ideal implant…
