Can RFID Sensors Revolutionize Total Knee Replacement Surgery?

[QUOTE="berkeman, post: 5135616, member: 8921"] Are you sure you are interpreting the "wireless" part of the project correctly? It makes no sense to do anything wireless in close proximity around the knee inside the tissue of the leg. It makes good sense to do wireless communication between the controlling microcontroller (uC) and the outside world's logging circuitry. It probably also makes sense to do wireless charging of the small battery power source inside the leg tissue. Also, why would anybody use a permanently implanted monitoring circuit after a knee replacement? I can see maybe using such a sensor system for the first year or so after the replacement to monitor and track recovery and help guide physical therapy (PT), but IMO the is no reason for a permanently implanted monitoring circuit. So, can you provide more information on your project? What clinical evidence is there for such an implant (either for 1 year of recovery or for permanent monitoring)? Do you agree that your wireless boundaries are misplaced in your original post, or am I misunderstanding something? What reading have you been doing about knee replacements (can you provide links)? Fun project, BTW :smile: [/QUOTE]
