SENSORIZED KNEE ARTHROPLASTY UTILIZING AN INTRAOPERATIVE SENSOR SYSTEM

Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization"
Systems and techniques can be provided to generate sensorized insights into the characteristics of a knee joint space during a knee replacement procedure. In some implementations, a sensor support body carrying one or more sensors can be used to measure and inform the clinician of the varus/valgus angles of the tibia and femur, allowing the clinician to adjust the surgical procedure to accommodate the measured angles. The clinician may simulate changes to the load balance across the knee joint in response to potential dimensional changes to the knee joint prior to actually surgically implementing the changes.
