Medical History is Made with Revolutionary Orthopaedic Technology
Source: Scripps
Medical history was made in San Diego recently when a surgeon from the Scripps Clinic Division of Orthopaedic Surgery
implanted into a patient a total knee prosthesis that has the ability to directly measure forces that occur within the
knee. This type of prosthesis has never before been implanted in a living patient and is expected to generate information
that will lead to major advances in knee implant design.
"MicroStrain is proud to be part of the team that made this technology breakthrough possible," said Steven Arms,
President of MicroStrain Inc., which develops wireless microsensors. "Our wireless sensor microelectronics expertise
has made it possible for new data to speed improvements in the field of knee replacements. MicroStrain's development
of advanced digital wireless strain Starter Kits was funded in part by Vermont EPSCoR and NSF SBIR programs."
