ABSTRACT

Arthroplasties are one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. Although this surgery has excellent outcomes, revision surgeries are still required in 6.45% of the cases after five years and 12.9% after ten years. Different methodologies for monitoring the bone-implant interface have been developed over the past few years. Although these methodologies have demonstrated better results when compared with imaging methodologies, continuous monitoring throughout the patient’s daily life is still not possible. This work reports, for the first time, the development a web application that allows monitoring the bone-implant fixation. Through the simulation of the sensing technology, it was possible to visualize and analyze data in different types of plots. This webpage has demonstrated a high potential for continuous monitoring of an instrumented implant.
