Abstract: An intervertebral implant includes a body adapted to be implanted into an intervertebral space of a patient, the body defining a fusion aperture, and at least one cartridge with each cartridge disposed in the body and at least partially extending into the fusion aperture. Each cartridge includes an impedance sensor configured to measure electrical resistance, a radio frequency (RF) transmit antenna configured to transmit a RF signal, and circuitry for recording data from the impedance sensor and transmit the recorded data to an external clinician computing device through the RF transmit antenna. Such collection and use of data can be used to provide improved orthopedic outcomes.
