    Abstract: Disclosed herein are joint implants and methods for tracking joint implant performance. A shoulder implant according to the present disclosure can include a glenoid implant on a first bone and a humeral implant on a second bone of a shoulder. The glenoid implant can include magnetic markers. The humeral implant can include marker readers to provide positional data of the glenoid implant with respect to the humeral implant. The humeral implant can include at least one sensor to measure kinematic data between the glenoid and humeral implants. A processor can be coupled the marker reader and the at least one sensor. The processor can be configured to output the positional data and the kinematic data to an external source.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a joint implant including a first implant coupled to a first bone of a joint, and a second implant coupled to a second bone of the joint and contacting the first implant. The second implant can include a plurality of sensors configured to measure data and a processor operatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and adapted to receive the data from the sensors. The first implant can be a femoral implant coupled to a femur. The second implant can be a patellar implant coupled to a patella. Sensor data from the patellar implant can indicate movement between the femoral implant and the patellar implant and identify patella condition such as a patellar rotation, patellar tilt and patellar tendonitis.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are joint implants and methods for tracking joint implant performance. A joint implant includes a first implant coupled to a first bone of a joint and a second implant coupled to a second bone of the joint. The second implant includes at least one of a first sensor configured to measure a first type of data, and a processor operatively coupled to the at least one of the first sensor. The process outputs the first type of data to a network to be compared with data received from other joint implants. One of the joint or the implant is determined to be in a first state based on a comparison of the first type of data to a set of predetermined values formed based on the data received from the other joint implants. The predetermined values are adapted to change with the addition of new data.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are joint implants with sensors and methods for manufacturing joint implants with sensors. A knee joint implant according to the present disclosure may include a femoral implant, a tibial implant and a tibial insert disposed therebetween. The tibial implant may include a medial side with a medial central region defined around a medial center, a lateral side with a lateral central region defined around a lateral center and a central region disposed between the medial central region and the lateral central region. At least one sensor and a battery may be disposed within the tibial insert. The medial central region and the lateral central region may be defined by solid volumes extending from a proximal surface to a distal surface of the tibial insert.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are joint implants and methods for intra-operatively detecting joint implant gap. A method for detecting a joint implant gap may include coupling a first implant to a first bone of a joint, coupling a second implant to a second bone of the joint, measuring an amplitude of a magnetic flux density using a magnetic sensor to determine a gap between the first and second implants. The first implant may include at least one magnetic marker. The second implant may be configured to contact the first implant. The second implant may include at least one magnetic sensor to detect the magnetic flux density of the magnetic marker. The gap between the first and second implant may be intra-operatively determined using the measured amplitude of the magnetic flux density.
