  1. Implantable Orthopedic Sensors Group 4 Derek Sheesley Sunil Shah Michael Iskhakov Marina Louis Anthony Jones

  2. Design Goal • Issues arise within prostheses without the doctors or wearers knowledge • Estimations ok but more exact measurements needed • Sensor that will [6]: • Give real time information • Alert the wearer when a problem arises

  3. Constraints • Size • 1 cm3 • Wireless sensor [6] • 2-5 millimeters across • 500 microns thick • Biocompatibility (must be…) • compatible with implant and body • micro-disc electrode arrays, poly hemahydrogels[3] • capable of withstanding forces in body

  4. Constraints • Risk/Benefit Factor • Biosensor must be made so that the risk of failure, as well as risk of further damage, is reduced • Minimally Invasive • Surgery should be kept minimal • Use of ultra-thin flexible biosensors (<100 micrometers thick) to reduce size of incisions and risk of injury during surgery [5] • Affordable • Must be relatively cheap and be able to be mass-produced

  5. Criteria • Strong, biocompatible material • Stainless steel, titanium[2] • Non-biocompatible materials coated with PEG or PDMS [3] • Collection • Good accuracy and precision • Reduce noise with gyroscopic system [5] • Telemetric data collection [6]

  6. Criteria • Monitor state of implant and surrounding area • Temperature, pH, force, pressure, etc. • Early warning system • Power Supplies • Kinetic and Thermoelectric energy harvesters [1] • Single inductor-capacitor component [4] • Wireless (no electrical components)

  7. Weaknesses FDA rationale: High risk to benefit ratio Highly Invasive Number of parameters measured Signal Collection a)Noise [5] b)Patient Confidentiality

  8. Strengths

  9. Accurate Diagnostics

  10. In the case of chronic infections of artificial joints associated with bacterial biofilmWhich is less invasive? Traumatic Implant removal Sensor bacterial eradication • microelectromechanicalsystem that could be embedded within the implanted joint to detect the presence of bacteria and to provide in situ treatment of the infection before a biofilm can form [4] Dr. Sri, [THK], retrieved from : https://learn.dcollege.net/bbcswebdav/pid-2140270dtcontentrid7564780_1/courses/20764.201325/Total%20Knee%20Replacement_SB.pdf

  11. Signal Collection Is Patient confidentiality at risk when a form of wireless communication is used to read a sensor?

  12. Conclusion • Incorporate a sensor into orthopedic prosthetics that will monitor their condition as they are being used by patients. • Example Prosthetics such as: Knee, Hip, Spine. • Sensors to record and transmit readings in concentration changes of specific substances present in surrounding blood and tissue.[8] • Chemicals, Biological substances, Ions, etc. • Sensor can’t be more invasive than its partner prosthetic; must be compatible both with orthopedic implant and patient. • Side effects of transmitting sensor can’t compromise the benefits of implant

  13. Conclusion • Transmission must be coherent, accurate and precise. • Possible depending on coating of sensor, such as a functionalized polymer coasting[8] • Ultimately, sensor will aid in gathering data to design a more efficient prosthetic.
