Smart implants are implantable devices that provide not only therapeutic benefits but also
have diagnostic capabilities. The integration of smart implants into daily clinical practice has …

Monitoring the position of orthopedic implants in vivo is paramount for enhancing
postoperative rehabilitation. Traditional radiographic methods, although effective, pose …

Introduction: Implantable wireless sensors have been used for real-time monitoring of
chemicals and physical conditions of bones, tendons and muscles to diagnose and study …

Background and Objectives: Fracture healing is currently assessed through qualitative
evaluation of radiographic images, which is highly subjective in nature. Radiographs can …

The adoption of non-invasive smart implants is inevitable due to recent technological
advancements in smart implants and the increasing demand to provide pervasive and …

Bone development, maintenance, and regeneration are remarkably sensitive to mechanical
cues. Consequently, mechanical stimulation has long been sought as a putative target to …

Objectives This study explored the efficacy of collecting temporal fracture site compliance
data via an advanced direct electromagnetic coupling (DEC) system equipped with a Vivaldi …

Balancing forces within weight-bearing joints such as the hip during joint replacement is
essential for implant longevity. Minimising implant failure and the corresponding need for …

Although external fixation is being widely used by orthopedic surgeons in the treatment of
bone fractures, the surgical procedure and recovery are still followed by a number of …

Introduction SMART sensor technology may provide the solution to bridge the gap between
the current radiographic determination of fracture healing and clinical assessment. The …
