Surgery to implant a total hip replacement (THR) is very successful in reducing pain and
restoring function. This procedure has become more prevalent, and projections estimate …

Background: In hip arthroplasties, surgeons rely on their experience to assess the stability
and balance of hip tissues when fitting the implant to their patients. During the operation …

About 20% of people older than forty years old face more bone degenerative diseases. The
older population is increasing quite rapidly than before which increases the need for knee or …

Currently applied diagnostic methods for loosening of total hip replacements often result in
imprecise identification of implant fixation and in the worst case unnecessary revision …

Diagnosis of total hip replacement (THR) loosening using imaging often fails to provide
reliable results. New implants instrumented with sensors shall conform to this challenge …

Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) implants are routinely tested for their tribological
performance through regulatory preclinical wear testing (eg, ISO-14242). The standardized …

The objective of this scoping review is to characterize the current panorama of inertia
sensors for the rehabilitation of hip arthroplasty. In this context, the most widely used sensors …

Biomedical implantable devices in real-time telemetry applications offer many advantages to
study and monitor physiologic parameters in human and animal bodies. As in power …

Resultant hip joint forces can currently only be recorded in situ in a laboratory setting using
instrumented total hip replacements (THRs) equipped with strain gauges. However …

Innovations in computer technology and implant design have paved the way for the
development of smart instruments and intelligent implants in trauma and orthopaedics to …
